CROCKED Chelsea star Reece James hilariously caught out Marcus Bettinelli after his Blues team-mate snubbed a coffee trip with him.
James is currently sidelined with a knee injury and a major doubt for the World Cup.
As a result, the 22-year-old had some spare time on his hands on Wednesday morning.
And with goalkeeper Bettinelli rarely in the Chelsea squad, James asked his Stamford Bridge pal if he fancied grabbing a coffee.
While the Chelsea squad prepped for this evening’s trip to Brentford the injured James headed out for a drink.
He headed out solo after Bettinelli snubbed his invitation.
But as he was out, James awkwardly bumped into Bettinelli, who was out walking his dogs but “pied”; James’ coffee invitation.
James hilariously took a snap of Bettinelli, who could only stand with his arms outstretched laughing.
The right-back wrote on his Insta story: “When u ask your pal to go for coffee in the am but he pies u!! Then you catch him there @marcusbettinelli.”;
James is currently sidelined after injuring his knee in the 2-0 Champions League win against AC Milan last week.
He is set to spend eight weeks out as he recovers, and will wear a knee brace for the next month.
James would likely be a starter at the World Cup in Qatar if fully fit.
But England’s first game is against Iran on November 21 — barely a week after James is due to have his knee brace removed.
The knee-ligament damaged he sustained has left his World Cup dream in tatters.
