Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has admitted he does not know if Reece James will play again this season.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old defender underwent surgery on his injured hamstring in December.<\/p>\n

Dr. Lasse Lempainen, who is managing the player\u2019s treatment, set out a three to four-month timeline for the Blues skipper to return.<\/p>\n

But Pochettino remains uncertain if the defender will play again this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I don\u2019t know,\u201d Pochettino replied when asked for an updated timeline.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s difficult to say something because I don\u2019t want you to go \u2018but, oh, [you said this].\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will assess it week by week and we will see. We hope yes, we hope that he will be available for the end of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n
