Chelsea’s Reece James has been withdrawn from the England Under-21 squad because of injury.

Trevoh Chalobah, who is currently on loan from the Blues at Championship club Huddersfield, has also withdrawn from the squad, in his case as a precaution because of a minor problem.

Chelsea have not revealed the nature of James’ injury. The club announced on Thursday that both players had been withdrawn “due to fitness concerns”.

Callum Hudson-Odoi, who also recently returned to action, flew out with the Under-21 squad to Slovenia, as did fellow Chelsea youngster Marc Guehi.
