Mauricio Pochettino praised Reece James following his comeback, as he provided an assist for Chelsea’s winning goal just under three minutes into his first game back since December.

“Massive,” Pochettino said of James. “It’s unlucky there are only two games ahead and it’s one week. He is our captain. We all love him.

“We will see whether he will be fit and have a chance of making the Euros. He is doing well in the training sessions.

“If his coach in the national team believes he can cope with the competition, I think he will be ready.”
