Chelsea captain Reece James has been struck by another hamstring injury, jeopardising his availability for the early part of the Premier League season. With just seven days remaining before the league's kickoff, the full-back's latest setback is a significant blow for the Blues. James, who missed a substantial portion of last season due to injury, was in promising form during pre-season, starting all five of Chelsea's friendlies. However, he experienced discomfort during training at Cobham following the team's return from their pre-season tour in the USA. The injury has been described as minor by sources within the club, who spoke to The Athletic on the condition of anonymity.
