Reece James gives perfect injury update

The England international’s performances have impressed during the Club World Cup. James was named in the Team of the Week for his goalscoring display against Benfica.

Given his torrid past when it comes to fitness, there were many fearing the worst upon the news. However, James took to his own Instagram to claim that he was going to be fit for their semi-final tie on Tuesday night against Fluminense.

He said: “I’m fit and well. See you on Tuesday.”

Chelsea FC and Valencia CF are closing in on an agreement for French defensive midfielder Lesley Ugochukwu (21) to spend the 2025-2026 campaign on loan at Mestalla. L’Equipe reports that the La Liga side is in talks with the Blues, currently involved in the FIFA Club World Cup where they will play Fluminense in the semi-finals, over a loan move for the 21-year-old midfielder.

Carney Chukwuemeka may yet make his move to Borussia Dortmund permanent, after a club chief claimed he hopes to agree a deal to sign him from Chelsea.

Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl has revealed he hopes to keep Chukwuemeka at the club, though the midfielder is set to return to Stamford Bridge following the end of the Club World Cup. A permanent move for Chukwuemeka may cost in the region of £40million (€46.3m/$54.6m), a price the German giants would hope to negotiate down.

Kehl said after Dortmund´s Club World Cup exit: "Carney’s loan ends today. That was what we agreed with Chelsea. Now, let’s see. We will definitely have some more discussions in the next few days about his situation. I think it was a good move from Carney to join us.

"Now let´s see how we manage everything. It won´t be easy, but for sure we will try to keep him because he´s a very good player. This topic is something for the future, and right now I don’t know what will happen.

"It´s always easier to loan a player than to buy one, especially within Carney’s [price] range. But let´s see," he continued. "We are not that far advanced [in talks] at the moment, but I can tell you that we are pretty close to the player, and he loves Dortmund, so this is quite good. Everything else will be decided between Chelsea and us. That won´t be tomorrow. That won´t be on Tuesday. I think it will take some more days."

Chelsea are not accepting loan proposals for Lesley Ugochukwu as the priority is for permanent sale.

Valencia and more clubs interested but Chelsea say no to loan move. There are Premier League clubs also keen.
