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.”

      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.

      It's a bit of a dog's dinner alright. Not sure why you'd sell De Bruyne and keep two injured Liverpool players, though. That's the FPL equivalent of a well-done steak; strange, unnecessary, and bad for your health.
