Fitness issues have limited the England right back to jus🌱t 16 starts in the Premier League this season.
His latest injury came during the loss to Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals last week, Chelsea manager Frank Lampard said. James completed the g🎃ame against the European champions at Stamford ꦰBridge but a scan revealed the extent of the problem.
Lampard also said midfielder Mason Mount, who has been linked with a move away from t🍨he club, is also unlikely to play again before the sea🐠son’s final game.
Mount is set to have surgery on a long-term pelvic problem. With uncertainty oveไr a new contract, he could have played his last game for Chelsea.
“Medical staff have been trying, but we’ve got to a stage where he will have minor surgery,” Lampard said of Mount. “It’ll probably be𒁏 a four-week recovery and we all know where that gets us to.”
