Chelsea's James could miss weeks with hamstring injury

Chelsea defender Reece James could be out for weeks with a hamstring injury, says head coach Liam Rosenior.

The Chelsea captain will miss his side's Champions League home match against Paris Stu2011Germain, following their 5-2 firstu2011leg defeat in France.

An exact time frame was not given, but when asked whether it could be that James misses a number weeks, Rosenior relied "It could be".

That could mean the 26u2011yearu2011old misses the upcoming England internationals later this month, with Thomas Tuchel's squad to be announced on Friday.

He suffered the injury in Saturday's 1-0 Premier League defeat by Newcastle.
