Reece James to return to action for Chelsea this month or at the beginning of May

Chelsea captain Reece James is targeting a return by the end of April or early May following a hamstring setback.

Reece James has missed the last three matches but is poised to return for the crucial run-in.

Manager Liam Rosenior stressed the need to manage James carefully due to his injury history, warning against over-reliance as Chelsea chase a top-five finish and the FA Cup.
