Reece James to Return for Chelsea by End of April

Chelsea captain Reece James is expected to return to action by the end of April or the beginning of May following a hamstring injury. The England international has missed the club's last three matches, though initial fears of a two-month absence have been alleviated.

Manager Liam Rosenior will look to integrate the versatile defender into the squad as Chelsea targets a top-five finish and the FA Cup. However, caution is advised regarding his minutes due to his history of injuries.
