Chelsea's defensive injury crisis continues to deepen, with Reece James being forced to withdraw from the latest England squad. The Blues captain had been called upon by former Stamford Bridge boss Thomas Tuchel for upcoming clashes with Wales and Latvia.
Chelsea striker Aggie Beever-Jones has four goals in four WSL games and is making a strong case for an England starting place.
James produced a truly sensational 90 minutes in the 2–1 win, ending the game at centre back as a result of an injury crisis which saw both Benoît Badiashile and Josh Acheampong join Tosin Adarabioyo, Wesley Fofana and Levi Colwill on the treatment table.
