CHELSEA boss Sonia Bompastor expects Lauren James to remain out of action until the new year.

Forward James has been unavailable for the Blues’ last eight games in all competitions due to a calf issue, plus four England matches.

Chelsea have four more fixtures before the winter break, starting with Sunday’s Women’s Super League home clash with Brighton. They also play Leicester away, between Champions League games against Twente and Real Madrid.
