Doubts surround the possibility of English defender Reece James, a Chelsea player, participating in the anticipated match against Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16.

Chelsea will host Paris Saint-Germain tomorrow, Tuesday, at their home ground, in what will be a tough match for the London team, especially after their 5-2 loss in the first leg.

According to the British "BBC" network, Reece James was absent from Chelsea's training this morning, raising doubts about his readiness to participate in the upcoming match. Coach Liam Rosenior is expected to clarify the player's status during the pre-match press conference.

James's absence from training comes after he participated fully in Chelsea's last match against Newcastle United, which ended with the Blues losing 1-0 last Saturday.

Reece James played 36 matches for Chelsea this season across various competitions, during which he scored two goals and provided seven assists.
