As a dedicated Chelsea fan who has seen more than my fair share of injuries over the years, I can’t help but feel a familiar pang of disappointment when hearing about Reece James‘ latest setback. It seems like every time he’s just finding his rhythm, fate conspires to knock him off his stride.
As a fervent Chelsea supporter, I can’t help but marvel at the positive impact Enzo Maresca’s appointment as our head coach has had on the team’s performance. However, it seems that fitness concerns continue to plague our squad. Our esteemed captain, Reece James, is the latest addition to our ever-growing injury list, leaving Maresca with fewer outfield options for our upcoming Premier League clash against Leicester City. So, what exactly transpired with this promising young right back?
Here’s everything you need to know regarding the Englishman’s latest ailment, including his projected return.
How did Reece James get injured while playing football?
It’s been confirmed that Reece James is dealing with a hamstring issue, preventing him from joining his team for their trip to East Midlands this coming weekend.
According to Maresca’s statements, James will be sitting out this week due to precautionary reasons because he picked up a minor issue during training a couple of days ago. As reported by BBC, Maresca explained, “We currently have only one injured player, and that’s Reece [James]. Unfortunately, he felt something slight in training, so we don’t want to take any chances for the upcoming match this weekend.
Last season, Reece James was sidelined for much of it because of a hamstring issue. Consequently, he managed to appear in just 482 minutes of top-tier matches during the 2023-24 campaign at the age of 24, due to his injury.
When will Reece James return to play with Chelsea FC?
Currently, the exact timeline for Reece James’s recovery from his present injury is yet to be determined.
According to Maresca’s remarks, it seems Chelsea fans should prepare for their captain to miss matches for at least a week. In response to questions about James’ return, Maresca stated, “He won’t play this weekend, but I hope he can come back soon. It might be challenging for him to play in the Conference League [next Thursday], but I hope it won’t take too long.
Throughout his entire professional journey, Reece James has battled numerous injuries, including eight separate hamstring problems over the past four years. Moreover, he’s experienced six additional injuries affecting his knee, thigh, and ankle.
