Chelsea face Newcastle injury crisis ahead of cup clash as Reece James struggling

Reece James has been plagued by injuries over the past two-and-a-bit seasons but it seems Chelsea have come up with a plan.

Reece James, one of Chelsea’s standout players, was instrumental in their vital win against Newcastle United in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

Following a lengthy absence, the Blues captain returned to the pitch last weekend at Liverpool, before being rested for the Conference League match against Panathinaikos. However, he was back in action when Chelsea hosted Newcastle at Stamford Bridge just a few days later.

Given that James alongside Lavia and Fofana started against Newcastle recently, it suggests they might sit out the upcoming Carabao Cup clash at Tyneside when the Blues confront the Magpies on Wednesday night.
