Calum McFarlane has just taken his press conference ahead of Chelsea’s Monday afternoon game against Nottingham Forest, and as usual, first on the agenda was injury news.

Most of the squad are available right now, but two members of the first choice back four are out – Reece James and Levi Colwill.

“Reece is back in training and Levi, both looking good,” the interim coach said.

“A little way to the game so we’ll see how they do but both are looking promising. We’re taking it day by day. Levi has had a long injury, Reece had a really good run and was then injured again so we don’t want to push too much.”

James still unlikely to start, Colwill a couple of weeks away

If we’re being realistic, we’d say it’s still likely that neither feature in the game. Colwill is still a long way off, clearly. James is close, and we’d expect him on the bench at the very least.

But given his record, a start on Monday still feels like a stretch.
