Liam Rosenior confirms Chelsea injury boost for Tuesday

Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior has confirmed an injury boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Leeds United on Tuesday night.

The Blues secured a fourth straight league win with a convincing 3-1 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers on the road. Cole Palmer was the star of the show with a hat-trick.

Speaking after the game, Rosenior was asked about the absence of club captain Reece James, who has missed the last two games with a minor fitness concern.

The Blues boss clarified that there is no major problem with the right-back and he should be fit for Tuesday's encounter against the Whites at Stamford Bridge.

He said: "He's so close. He should be fit for Tuesday. It's not a major problem at all. It's a knock. Pain management issue. He was out running yesterday."

With the win over Wolves, Chelsea have moved four points clear of sixth-placed Liverpool, who have a game in hand against Manchester City at Anfield.
