Chelsea captain Reece James is a doubt to face Leeds due to illness.

James has recovered from the minor injury that forced he to miss last Tuesday’s Carabao Cup defeat at Arsenal and Saturday’s 3-1 at Wolves.

But Liam Rosenior revealed James is “feeling unwell” when he provided an update on his availability for the visit of Leeds to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday.

Rosenior said: "Reece is fit. 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."
