Chelsea captain Reece James was absent from the latest training session ahead of the Premier League clash against Everton.
The England international sustained a knee injury before the Premier League clash against Bournemouth last weekend.
Blues boss Xabi Alonso did not provide a timescale, and it appears that he could be sidelined for some period of time.
James was not spotted in an open training session yesterday, and he looks poised to miss the weekend trip to Everton.
Chelsea have had a mixed start to the campaign. They are currently on just 10 points after six matches into the top-flight season.
The Blues travel to the Hill Dickinson Stadium in Saturday's early kick-off and should fancy their chances of another victory.
Chelsea are winless in the last three trips to Everton, including two losses, but should be favourites to come on top this time around.
Alonso will be hoping for a better showing from the backline which has struggled to keep a clean sheet this campaign.
