Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has confirmed an injury boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Leeds United on Tuesday night.
The Blues secured a fourth straight league win with a convincing 3-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers on the road. Cole Palmer was the star of the show with a hat-trick.
Speaking after the game, Rosenior was asked about the absence of club captain Reece James, who has missed the last two games with a minor fitness concern.
The Blues boss clarified that there is no major problem with the right-back and he should be fit for Tuesday’s encounter against the Whites at Stamford Bridge.
He said: “He’s so close. He should be fit for Tuesday. It’s not a major problem at all. It’s a knock. Pain management issue. He was out running yesterday.”
With the win over Wolves, Chelsea have moved four points clear of sixth-placed Liverpool, who have a game in hand against Manchester City at Anfield.
