Reece James will be 'absolutely fine' after World Cup – new return date named

Reece James will be absolutely fine to play for Chelsea after the World Cup, per Givemesport.

The Englishman is said to be fully recovered and will be available to start for Chelsea in their first Premier League game after the break against Bournemouth on December 27th.

James was close to making England's squad for the World Cup but was ruled out at the last minute as Gareth Southgate didn't want to take a risk.

The 22-year-old has been badly missed at Chelsea since his injury while playing against AC Milan last month.
