Lauren James out for minimum of five games – Bompastor
According to BBC Sport, Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor has confirmed that 25-year-old Lauren James will miss at least the next five matches for the Blues due to a hamstring injury sustained during the 6-0 win over Charlton Athletic. The injury casts doubt on her availability for England's World Cup qualifying play-off matches against Ukraine in December. Bompastor emphasized her role in finding solutions in James's absence, noting that the team has demonstrated an ability to score through various players.
