England manager Gareth Southgate has told injured Chelsea defender Reece James, 22, he will not be in his 26-man World Cup squad, which will be announced on Thursday afternoon. Chelsea and England defender Reece James says he is 'devastated' to miss World Cup with knee injury.. The 22-year-old sustained the injury against AC Milan on 11 October but remained optimistic of recovering in time for the competition. He began jogging this week after Chelsea had initially said he was expected to be out for eight weeks. "The minute I injured my knee, I knew the turnaround to make the World Cup would be tight," James said on Twitter. "But I always felt it was possible. "I've worked harder than I ever thought I could to give myself the best chance of going and truly believed I could help the team." It is understood that England manager Gareth Southgate deemed it too big a risk to take James. But James said: "I appreciate there was a risk on both sides, but it was one I was willing to take. "Good luck to the boys. I'll be back soon. Stay safe and sending love." ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/1006E/production/_127564656_james_bbcsport.jpg |

England - World Cup injury watch.
Few thought the right-back position would be an area of concern for Southgate, especially given the plethora of options he's historically had at his disposal. However, that has all changed in recent weeks.
Kyle Walker: The Manchester City defender was left with six weeks to recover his fitness after groin surgery - but says he is "confident" of making the World Cup squad.
John Stones and Harry Maguire: Manchester City's Stones and Manchester United's Maguire have both not played since suffering hamstring injuries in the 3-3 Nations League draw with Germany last month.
Kalvin Phillips: The Manchester City midfielder is a major doubt after a dislocated shoulder suffered in September.
Kyle Walker-Peters: The Southampton full-back is set to be sidelined for the "long term" with a hamstring injury, after being forced off in Saints' 1-0 win over Bournemouth in late October.
