Chelsea manager Sonia Bompastor says Lauren James will be out for at least the next few weeks, casting doubt on her availability for England's World Cup qualifying play-off matches.

The 25-year-old will miss at least the next five matches for the Blues, including Everton's visit to Stamford Bridge on Saturday and a crucial match against champions Manchester City next weekend.
