BIRMINGHAM, England: Chelsea's England right back Reece James will "give everything" to be fit for the World Cup but manager Graham Potter gave little room for much hope on Sunday (Oct 16).James injured his knee against AC Milan in the Champions League last week and faces several weeks out.

He looks almost certain to miss the tournament in Qatar."In terms of his involvement in the World Cup, I don't know. He will give everything but he is in a brace for four weeks so that will slow things down," Potter told reporters."It wouldn't be my place to predict what's going to happen.

All I know is what the next four weeks look like for him and that has implications in terms of what he needs to do to get fit from there.

But our job is just to help him in the short term now and get him back."He's disappointed and upset. He got himself into a real good moment of form.
