FPL injury news: James out for two months

359 Comments
Share

The news that many Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers had been expecting and possibly fearing arrived on Saturday evening.

It’s now been confirmed that Reece James (£6.0m) faces two months on the sidelines with the knee injury he picked up in last week’s clash with AC Milan.

That will not only put him out of domestic action until Gameweek 17 but also very likely the World Cup, too.

A Chelsea club statement read:

“Following the knee injury sustained in our away match against AC Milan, Reece has received treatment from the Chelsea medical department and visited a specialist this weekend.

fter consultation between all parties, Reece will now undergo a rehabilitation programme and is expected to be out for eight weeks.”

      Im doing similar but 1 week punt Maddi to Trossard for a hit, high upside vs NFO, worst case losing 2 points, best case gain 10+pointer

    Since there is a lot of talk about FH this week, what do you think guys, will there be a big blank GW until the end of the season?

    A lot of games need to be played before and after this Qatar Circus, is there any room for blank gameweeks??

      Nothing will happen before the World Cup, but there’s already a shedload of games to reschedule; there’ll be more as arising from the League Cup Final and FA Cup; and who knows what impact the weather or Covid will have. The Coronation could also lead to rearrangements. Bottom line, I’d rather save my chips for the chaos to come.

        Great team that. Just Maddison out and bench Neco. Maybe get someone you want a bit longer term than Trossard, although I'm sure your plan is to get Foden/Saka with your 2FT so it's essentially a 1 week punt.
