Reece James: Chelsea's defender will miss the remainder of the season due to injury

Posted : 25 April 2023
Reece James will miss the remainder of the season, according to interim Chelsea manager Frank Lampard, while Mason Mount is "unlikely" to play in the last seven games.

After a diagnostic for a hamstring issue, James has been ruled out, while Mount has a pelvic ailment.

"Reece James will be unavailable for the rest of the season, Mason Mount the same," said Lampard.

Mauricio Pochettino, a former manager of Tottenham, and Chelsea are in advanced negotiations for him to take over.

"Reece had a hamstring injury in the midweek game," added Lampard. "He got through it but then had a scan and he's out.

"Mason has been carrying a pelvic injury for a while. It predates myself and he has been trying typically but he will have minor surgery, then a four-week recovery.

"He [Mount] might make the last match but that's unlikely, which is obviously disappointing for us."

Lampard, who was appointed earlier this month to take over as manager at Stamford Bridge in lieu of Graham Potter until the conclusion of the current campaign, has lost each of his four matches.

The Blues are now ranked 11th in the Premier League, and since Real Madrid eliminated them from the Champions League in the quarterfinals last week, their season is basically ended.
