Further scans on the knee injury suffered by Chelsea right-back Reece James have raised the possibility he may need surgery, 90min understands.

The initial assessment of James' injury was positive and there was a confidence that the right-back would be back on the pitch in a little over a week, giving him plenty of time to recover in time for the World Cup, but sources have now confirmed to 90min that further checks on James' knee have been significantly more concerning.
