Chelsea captain Reece James is set for another spell on the sidelines after sustaining a hamstring injury in Sunday\u2019s 2-0 defeat at Everton.<\/p>\n

The right back is set to begin his latest rehabilitation programme at Cobham after scans confirmed the recurrence of a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n

James had only just returned from another lengthy layoff and missed 10 games earlier this season after injuring his hamstring against Liverpool on the opening day.<\/p>\n

Chelsea had looked to ease James back into action – with the right back also making himself unavailable for England duty last month – but the problem returned at Goodison Park and he was withdrawn in the first half.<\/p>\n

James has endured an injury-hit year and missed the Qatar World Cup due to a knee problem, while Gareth Southgate has warned that his injury record could impact his chances of being selected for the Euros this summer.<\/p>\n

A statement on Chelsea\u2019s official website on Tuesday said: "Captain Reece James has undergone medical assessment following Sunday\u2019s 2-0 defeat at Everton.<\/p>\n

"The defender was withdrawn during the first half at Goodison Park and scan results have confirmed a hamstring injury. Reece will now begin his rehabilitation programme at Cobham."<\/p>\n

The England right-back was one of three players who went off injured for the visitors during the Premier League contest at Goodison Park, along with goalkeeper Robert Sanchez and left-back Marc Cucurella.<\/p>\n

Speaking after Sunday\u2019s match – about his disappointment at losing the 24-year-old James to injury – Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino emphasised the captain\u2019s importance, describing him as "one of the best full-backs in the world".<\/p>\n

Pochettino also said Sanchez had departed due to a knee issue, and Cucurella because of a twisted ankle.<\/p>\n

Those problems add to an already-lengthy injury list for the west London club, who are 12th in the table.<\/p>\n
