Crystal
Palace are one of a number of clubs monitoring Reece James' situation at
Chelsea,
Sky Sports News understands.
But Sky Sports News understands Chelsea are highly unlikely to sell the
19-year-old this summer.
James impressed on loan at Wigan last season, making 45 appearances for the
Sky Bet Championship side.
The Chelsea academy graduate is currently on the sidelines after sustaining
knee ligament damage while playing for England U20s against Chile in the
Toulon tournament in June.
He has since undergone surgery and new Chelsea boss Frank Lampard wants time
to fully assess James and the rest of his first-team squad.
James will miss the start of the season, although Chelsea are hopeful that
he will be available for selection again in September.
