Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, has confirmed that Reece James has suffered a fresh injury scare just three matches into his comeback.
James has suffered muscle damage following the 4-0 victory at Burnley on Saturday.
He will now miss the Premier League game against Norwich on Thursday.
Tuchel, however, made it clear the injury was not a recurrence of the hamstring problem that kept him out for two months at the start of the year.
But it is still a concern for the European champions so soon after he regained full fitness.
Tuchel said: “Everybody was on the training pitch today [Wednesday] except for Ben Chilwell and Reece James, who has muscular problems after three matches – not his injured leg but the other leg. We need examination.
“We thought he could be on the pitch today but no. Needs further examination.”
He added: “He felt it during the match, that’s why we took him out. It didn’t get better so we are worried. Still we need some more details, more information. Today will be further examinations. It is obvious what he gives to our team so not good news at the moment. A setback for sure, I hope not a big one.”
