Chelsea injury update: Reece James, Omari Kellyman, Djordje Petrovic latest news and return dates [Video]

Chelsea are once again fearing for Reece James after a pre-season hamstring injury to the club captain.

The right-back missed their final friendly against Inter Milan and looks certain to sit out Sunday’s Premier League opener against Manchester City.

Elsewhere, Chelsea look to have a largely fit squad – certainly full of options after another busy summer.

Omari Kellyman and Djordje Petrovic both missed the tour of the United States but look to be back in contention. Issues for Axel Disasi and Nicolas Jackson have also cleared up.

Reece James has seen his last two seasons disrupted by lengthy injury problems and has already been dealt a blow this time around.

Late last week, reports suggested the Blues skipper had suffered a new hamstring problem and he sat out the draw with Inter Milan on Sunday.

However, he told reporters post-game that the injury was “not bad”. Nonetheless, it remains unclear when he’ll return.

Potential return date: Unknown
