After being left out of the Club World Cup, Reece James was included in Chelsea's traveling roster on Sunday.
Despite Thomas Tuchel's announcement that Reece James will skip the
Club World Cup
, he was unexpectedly included in Chelsea's selection for the competition.
After a tense 2-1
FA Cuptriumph against Plymouth Argyle on Saturday, a 23-man Chelsea squad traveled to the finals.
James was not anticipated to be one of them as he recuperates from a hamstring strain, with coach Tuchel stating before the Plymouth game that the winger would need "a couple of weeks" to resume training. James will not go, according to the Chelsea manager.
Only two first-team players are unavailable for the Blues, as Edouard Mendy returns to the squad after representing Senegal in the
Africa Cup of Nationsfinal on Sunday.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been ruled out due to a minor injury, while Ben Chilwell's season has been cut short due to a major knee injury.
Chelsea is now without Tuchel, the German has contracted the coronavirus and plans to rejoin his club at a later point.
