James hamstring issue ‘not serious’ as Trevoh Chalobah out for six weeks

He is facing another spell on the sidelines and his injury is a major blow for Chelsea.

But the Blues are hopeful James will be able to return to play a part in the run-in as they chase Champions League qualification.

Rosenior also confirmed Trevoh Chalobah faces six weeks out with the ankle injury he suffered against PSG.

Chalobah posted a nasty-looking image of his twisted ankle on social media but his injury is not as bad as first feared.

Rosenior said: “It wasn’t until later after the game that I saw the image. Then you’re really worried for the next game.

“Fortunately it’s nowhere near as serious as we first feared. It’s still a serious injury. We’re looking at a period of about six weeks, which is a better period than we first thought.”

Filip Jorgensen remains sidelined after minor groin surgery.

Rosenior said: “He had his scan and needed a minor operation. That’s a matter of weeks.”

Rosenior also provided an update on Levi Colwill, as he continues his recovery from the serious knee injury he sustained in pre-season.

“With an ACL, he’s hitting all the benchmarks he needs to,” said Rosenior. “He’s still looking at a good while yet. Hopefully [he can play this season].”
