Chelsea are set to be without the trio of Reece James, Marc Cucurella and Robert Sanchez for their game against Sheffield United on Saturday, after all three players sustained injuries earlier in the week.

James had to be subbed off in the first half of the defeat to Everton on Sunday due to a hamstring issue, before Cucurella and Sanchez also suffered a similar fate.

On Monday, Chelsea confirmed in a statement that James would now have to undergo rehabilitation at Cobham as a result of his latest injury, with some reports adding that the 23-year-old could be out for the next three months.
