Chelsea's win over Liverpool came at a cost as captain Reece James has withdrawn from the England squad for the upcoming international break.
The defender, who played a key role in the win, suffered an injury that the FA confirmed after a medical assessment.
James's place in the squad has been taken by Manchester City midfielder Nico O'Reilly, who receives his first senior call-up.
Despite the setback, Chelsea may view the break as a positive, allowing James and other players to rest before a busy schedule of fixtures.
