Reece James Injury: Out Tuesday with small knock

James didn't pass a late fitness test and was sidelined for Tuesday's EFL Cup action against Arsenal due to suffering from a small knock, coach Liam Rosenior said in a press conference, according to Football London. "Pedro and Reece had small knocks and were in too much pain for tonight."

James will hope to clear the small knock he is suffering from with four more days to recover before the next Premier League matchup against Wolves. If he continues to sit out, it could lead to increased playing time for Malo Gusto and Andrey Santos at right-back and central midfield, respectively. Despite his minor injury struggles, James had taken part in each of the previous five contests across all competitions prior to Tuesday's cup semifinal.
