James won't face Liverpool

Chelsea manager Graham Potter has said that Reece James won't be available to face Liverpool in the Premier League tomorrow.



The England international is back in team training after a fresh knee injury but he is unlikely to be rushed back to action.

James is said to be eager to be involved at Anfield, but Potter has confirmed that the game will come too soon for the right-back.

Meanwhile, Mykhaylo Mudryk is likely to make his debut off the bench, but that may depend on the circumstances of the game.

Mudryk has not played competitive football for some time. He only recently started full training with Shakhtar for the restart.

Chelsea are currently in a poor position in the league. They are lying 10th on the table with a 10-point deficit to the top four.

They need a huge turnaround in the coming months and Potter will be hoping that the Blues can beat the Reds on the road.
