Lauren James sidelined with hamstring injury, misses Champions League semi-final

News summary

Chelsea forward Lauren James will be sidelined for an unspecified period due to a hamstring injury sustained during England's 5-0 win over Belgium. The 23-year-old, who has scored four goals in 17 appearances for the Women's Super League leaders this season, was forced off at halftime and has since begun rehabilitation with Chelsea's medical team. Her absence comes at a crucial time, with Chelsea leading the league by three points and facing key fixtures, including the Women's Champions League semi-finals against Barcelona and the Women's FA Cup final against Manchester United. The injury is also a setback for England, as James will focus on recuperating ahead of the European Championship this summer. Chelsea's hopes for a quadruple trophy haul are now under increased pressure without one of their key attacking players. The club has not provided a specific timeframe for her return.
