Reece James to Miss PSG Return Leg After Fresh Hamstring Injury
Reece James picked up a hamstring injury in the closing minutes of Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge. The setback rules him out of Tuesday’s Champions League second-leg tie against Paris Saint-Germain and could keep him sidelined for weeks. Head coach Liam Rosenior confirmed the injury at the pre-match press conference. He admitted the full extent is still unknown but warned that hamstring problems often require lengthy recovery. James will also miss Premier League fixtures, including a trip to Everton, and the FA Cup quarter-final against Port Vale. The latest issue is his 10th hamstring injury since December 2020 and ends a year-long run of fitness. Having just signed a six-year contract extension, James now faces uncertainty over his availability for England’s upcoming friendlies and potentially the 2026 World Cup.
