This Tuesday, Paris Saint-Germain faces Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of their Champions League Round of 16 tie (PSG won the first leg 5-2) in the 2025-2026 competition (kick-off at 9 pm, CET). On Monday, we learned that Reece James (26-year-old midfielder/right-back and captain of the Blues) will be unavailable due to a muscle injury.
While Chelsea already faced a difficult situation, having to overcome a three-goal deficit, they have just lost a key player before the match. Of course, this is by no means enough to say that qualification is already decided. But it’s clear that the task has just become even more complicated for the English club. PSG must approach the match well to avoid a nasty surprise.
