Chelsea star Reece James is reportedly confident of being included in the England 2022 World Cup, as he is ahead of schedule with his injury.

The 22-year-old suffered knee ligament injury during Chelsea’s 2-0 victory over AC Milan in San Siro on October 11.

It was revealed at the time that James will be sidelined for up to eight weeks, putting his chances of featuring at the World Cup in Qatar in serious doubt.  

According to Evening Standard, James is currently in Dubai with Chelsea teammate Wesley Fofana working on his fitness and is confident Gareth Southgate will name him in his 26-man squad for the World Cup.
