Chelsea manager Graham Potter is hopeful Reece James' injury sustained against AC Milan on Tuesday isn't too serious after the Premier League club moved top of Champions League Group E with a 2-0 win at San Siro.

After an evenly-matched opening, Milan's hopes of gaining revenge from last week's 3-0 humbling at Stamford Bridge were dealt a significant setback when former Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori was shown a straight red for a last-man challenge on Mason Mount in the penalty area.

Jorginho converted the subsequent penalty before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored his third goal in as many games to guide Chelsea to victory.

The one sour note of a successful evening for the Blues was the injury to key player James, who trudged off the pitch midway through the second half with an apparent leg problem.
