Reece James still hasn’t featured for Maresca after suffering a hamstring injury. The 24-year-old defender missed the start of the new campaign after he was shown a red card during the penultimate game of last season.

Then, just as he looked set to return, James picked up another knock. The England international has been really unfortunate with injuries lately, but he’s now doing ‘well’ and expected to be back in action ‘soon’.

What Maresca has said in September: “His injury is a bit delayed. The most important thing is players come back when they are 100% fit. Reece is still out. Unfortunately, we don’t have an idea at the moment [when he’ll be back]. In this case, he’s been very unlucky.”

Return date: Liverpool (A) – Premier League – October 20.

Omari Kellyman

Omari Kellyman is still yet to make his senior debut for Chelsea after joining the club for around £19m from Aston Villa in the summer.

The 19-year-old midfielder confirmed at the beginning of September that he’s nursing a hamstring injury, meaning he could be sidelined for two months.

What Kellyman said in September: “Gutted to have suffered a hamstring injury. Part of the game but I’ll be back stronger.”

Return date: November.
