'I won't rule myself out': A defiant Reece James REFUSES to shut the door on World Cup hopes despite being on crutches and in a knee brace with less than a month until England's World Cup opener... as Chelsea star vows to do all he can to make it to Qatar

Daily Mail | October 29, 2022

Chelsea and England defender Reece James has refused to give up on his World Cup hopes despite currently being sidelined with a knee injury.

James injured himself against AC Milan in the Champions League earlier this month and is still on crutches, while his knee remains in a brace.

Chelsea boss Graham Potter has previously said he is worried the injury has a timescale of eight weeks out, which would put James' World Cup participation in serious doubt.
