James is out for at least two months with injury and Chelsea are hoping to sign Atletico Trippier to make up for the squad

In the 20th round of the Premier League, Chelsea right-back Rees James was injured in a 1-1 draw at home to Brighton. Players are expected to be sidelined for at least two months due to injury.

Chelsea are considering signing England star Trippier from Atletico Madrid after James' injury.

So far this season, Chelsea have suffered serious injuries. Left-back Chilwell was reimbursed for the season and now right-back Rees James will also be absent for a long time.

Chelsea are considering signing two full-backs in the winter window, with left-back being a priority. Everton's Digne and Barcelona's Serginot D'Este are the Blues' signing targets.

At right-back, Chelsea have targeted Atletico player Trippier. The player helped Atletico win La Liga last season and is an important player in the England squad.

Manchester United and Newcastle United in the Premier League have targeted the 31-year-old and the competition will be fierce. Chelsea hope to be able to stand out from the crowd and sign the player.

However, Chelsea will prioritize signing left-backs to make up for the gap left by Chilwell, who has been reimbursed this season.
