Chelsea are backing Reece James and do not want to sell him, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The transfer guru told his Youtube channel that the club really love Reece James still and whilst they want him to play regularly they are backing him still and waiting for his return from injury which could come after the international break.

Romano also reports that the club had the opportunity to sell him in the past and they refused to do so.

Every Chelsea fan wants to see Reece play but this latest news offers fans some comfort that Reece will not face the same fate as the likes of Conor Gallagher and Mason Mount.
