Reece James has suffered a new hamstring injury, according to The Athletic.
James started all five pre season games but signalled some discomfort in a recent training session.
He has been ruled out of tomorrow’s match against Inter Milan and won’t be back until the middle of September.
Chelsea fans may take some comfort in the fact that Reece is suspended for the first three matches of the season anyway due to his red card last season against Brighton.
However, this latest setback signals more worries for Reece and the club, who recently had surgery last season to try and fix the constant injury issues.
