Chelsea star players Reece James and N’golo Kante are doubtful for the World Cup due to injuries. The French midfielder has been out for a while having just two appearances for the blues this season.
Graham Potter on James and Kante’s injury
Reece James came off in the second half against Milan in the Champions League after facing a knee problem. But things don’t look good for the English defender who will see a specialist for his injury in the coming days.
Graham Potter speaking in a press conference on James injury,
“He’s due to a specialist over the weekend, so until we get that information there’s not much else I can add unfortunately. The rest would be speculation. We will wait and see. We need to check the discomfort and see a specialist.”
“Yesterday he felt not too bad, but until you get these things checked you never know. We will wait and see. There’s no point looking into the doomsday scenario yet, we need to check and then go forward.”
Reece James might miss the World Cup if he has to undergo surgery. On the other hand, sources have told ESPN N’golo Kante will miss the World Cup after another injury setback.
Potter said,
“Again he’s due to see a consultant at the weekend. It’s a setback so its not good news but, anything other than that at this stage, I can’t give you anything more.
“It’s a setback at this stage of this rehab which is worrying ,but all we can do is get the right diagnosis, get the right consultation and try and help him get back to his full fitness and enjoying his football.”
The world will miss Kante in the World Cup if the sources are true. England will look to replace Reece James with having a good number of players in the right-back position.
