England international James forced out of Euro qualifiers with injury

England international Reece James , who is currently playing for Chelsea, has withdrawn from the European Cup qualifiers due to injury and will miss the next game between England and Ukraine.


In England's 2-1 historic victory over Italy in the European Cup qualifiers, James came on as a substitute in the 82nd minute, but unfortunately left with an injury.


Subsequently, the English Football Association issued a statement, which said that James had left the training camp to return to Chelsea and would not attend the game against Ukraine. James' injury will be further checked and evaluated after returning to Chelsea.


In 2020, James was selected for the England squad for the first time to participate in the friendly match against Wales. In the summer of 2021, James played with England in the European Cup. Although he only had one chance to play, he also helped England reach the final.


However, the 23-year-old James' recent situation can be said to be full of disasters. In October 2022, James missed the World Cup in Qatar because of a serious knee injury. He did not return to the game until the end of December of the same year, but has been troubled by old injuries. Therefore, James will officially come back in February 2023.

However, James' leg injury cannot be ignored, which caused him to miss 2 games this month. James has played a total of 18 games for Chelsea this season.


Although James has left the England team, it is said that England coach Southgate has not called up any substitute players.
