Reece James has been ruled out of the England squad for the autumn international camp due to injury. The Chelsea captain missed training this week, and manager Xabi Alonso indicated that James is unlikely to participate in the upcoming match against Brentford. James's absence comes after a disappointing World Cup run for England, where they reached the semi-finals but lost to Argentina. The Three Lions are set to face Spain at Wembley on September 26 as part of the Nations League campaign.
