The Chelsea captain will miss his side's Champions League home match against Paris St\u2011Germain, following their 5-2 first\u2011leg 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 26\u2011year\u2011old 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.
