According to British press sources, England and Chelsea back Rice James may miss the 2022 World Cup in Qatar in November because of the injury.
James was replaced by Cesar Azkueta after sustaining a knee injury while playing for Chelsea against AC Milan in the Champions League.
The Daily Mail reported today, Friday, that Rais James’ injury is worse than the England team’s technical staff.
According to the tabloid, James might need knee surgery, which would prevent him from competing in the World Cup the following month.
James is a key component of Chelsea’s “Premier League” squad this season, thus his absence will be felt by Gareth Southgate, the three lions’ head coach.
The teams from the United States, Iran, and Wales are all in the second group, which England is a part of.
In the most recent European Nations League match between England and Germany, which ended in a 3-3 tie, James scored a goal.
Before the 2022 World Cup, England’s team suffered a setback.
