Reece James sent for knee scan before Chelsea’s pre-season tour

Chelsea’s Reece James has been sent to a precautionary knee scan ahead of the Blues scheduled travel to the USA as part of their pre-season tour.

The London team will play four friendlies, starting off with Wrexham in North Carolina on Wednesday.

However, the Blues may be dealt a setback after news emerged that defender Reece James is set to undergo knee scan. Nothing serious at the moment, but the 23-year-old is no stranger to unexpected injuries having sat out most of last season, when he registered only 14 appearances.
