LONDON: Chelsea defender Reece James and midfielder Mason Mount will miss the rest of the season due to injuries, interim manager Frank Lampard said on Tuesday.
James has been ruled out with a hamstring injury while Mount has been sidelined with an abdominal problem, although he has an outside chance of returning for the last game of the season.
"James will be unavailable for the rest of the season. Mount the same, he might make the last match but that's unlikely. That's obviously disappointing for us," Lampard told reporters ahead of Wednesday's Premier League clash against Brentford.
Chelsea, who are 11th in the league standings and at risk of their worst domestic league finish in nearly 30 years, will look to end their seven-game winless run in all competitions against Brentford. Agencies
