England World Cup qualifiers: Chelsea's Reece James says he is in career-best form

Reece James says he is in the form of his life after returning to the England squad for World Cup qualifiers against Albania and San Marino.

The Chelsea defender, who featured just once at Euro 2020 as England reached the final, withdrew from the last Three Lions squad through injury.

James, 21, has scored three goals and created one other in four league games since October's international break.

"This is probably the best I have performed," James said.

"At this moment in time our team is performing well and creating a lot of chances, so it's obviously helping.
