Reece James has made a significant choice following his recent injury setback, reportedly opting to consult a hamstring specialist.
The Chelsea captain sustained another hamstring injury during the Blues’ 2-0 defeat against Everton.
This marks the second occurrence of the same issue for James this season, the first being in the 1-1 draw against Liverpool.
Subsequently, the 23-year-old was absent from Chelsea’s lineup for seven subsequent matches before making a complete recovery a few weeks ago.
