Liam Rosenior says Reece James has been struggling with illness ahead of Chelsea’s game against Leeds.
The Blues defender has missed the last two games with a knock and while he is recovered from that, Rosenior says he remains a doubt for Tuesday’s clash with illness.
“Reece is fit,” Rosenior said. “A small issue, but he’s feeling unwell today.
“It’s not a conspiracy, it’s true. Hopefully he’ll be well enough to play tomorrow.”
Rosenior says midfielder Andrey Santos is expected to be available despite suffering a swollen ankle, meanwhile.
Defender Tosin is back in training having been out since last month with a hamstring injury.
And Romeo Lavia is also training with the team having had another injury hit season but Rosenior has stressed that that there is a “detailed plan” for his return to action.
