James close to making return

Reece James is expected to make his return against Arsenal on October 21, according to the Daily Mail.

The 24-year-old was back in training on Thursday and is hoping to be back in full training within the next 10 days.

That would leave him in a position to make his return from a hamstring injury after the next intentional break.

Mauricio Pochettino will be desperate to have him back with the Blues currently suffering from a major injury crisis.

The west London club are set to be without 12 players for their trip to Fulham on Monday evening.
