Chelsea captain Reece James has undergone surgery on his knee, the club announced on Friday, as reported by Foot Mercato and the Daily Mail. The England international was absent for Chelsea's 5-1 victory over Bournemouth last weekend and is now expected to spend more time on the sidelines, according to The Independent.

The operation follows an injury picked up in training, the Daily Mail reports. The Evening Standard says the Blues captain is set for a further period out after the procedure. The setback comes ahead of Chelsea's clash with Everton, as Metro notes.
