Chelsea defender Reece James has encountered yet another setback after suffering another injury. As fans eagerly await updates on his condition, questions arise about the impact this injury will have on his performance and the team.
Now, many fans are curious to know what happened to Reece James and when he will return to play with Chelsea FC. Here are more details.
How did Reece James get injured?
Reece James sustained yet another hamstring injury just before the start of the new season. After returning from the pre-season tour in the U.S., James reported discomfort while training at Cobham. This raised concerns about his health. The injury surfaced shortly after he was substituted 70 minutes into Chelsea’s final pre-season match against Real Madrid. Wesley Fofana replaced him. Although the injury is described as minor, James was ruled out of Chelsea’s final warm-up game against Inter Milan at Stamford Bridge.
Although sources within the club have deemed the injury minor, Chelsea is taking a cautious approach to James’ recovery. This is particularly true since James is already suspended for the first three games of the season. However, this latest issue is worrisome for James. He has struggled with recurring hamstring problems that limited him to just five Premier League starts last year. With his absence, Malo Gusto is expected to fill the gap as the Blues prepare for the upcoming season.
When will Reece James return to play with the Chelsea FC?
Reece James resumed training after the international break, but it remains uncertain when he will be match-fit. Manager Enzo Maresca is expected to take a careful approach, ensuring James is fully ready before reintroducing him to competitive play. While there’s hope he could make an appearance in the coming weeks, no official timeline has been confirmed for his return to Chelsea’s lineup.
