One Chelsea player has given the true lowdown on the latest injury to Chelsea captain Reece James, who is out yet again with a hamstring issue.
James has suffered injury after injury whilst at Chelsea and to be honest, pretty much all through his short football career so far. But James is going to soon be turning 25-years-old, so the concern now for many is whether this is just a player who is going to be plagued by injuries so much that he isn’t going to be able to sustain a football career.
EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea stepping up pursuit of Premier League striker – not Evan Ferguson!
Chelsea might soon need to be making a big decision on James, and we are unsure on exactly how long he will be out for now for this latest injury either. The reports have been a bit coy, and apparently at the time of writing this, we are just waiting on hearing the results from yet another scan on James. Sigh.
Left back Marc Cucurella says the Chelsea players are very sad that James is injured again, and has provided a bit more detail on when he might return.
Cucurella hopeful
Cucurella, who knows what it feels like to be on the outside looking in, says the news of James’ latest injury left everyone in the squad feeling down. He told LondonWorld: “We are very sad, and I think for me personally, he’s one of the best players we have in the squad. Hopefully, he comes back soon. For sure, it’s tough because he’s fit again and then has a small injury, but we know him and we know he’s very important for us. He’s the captain, so all of us want him back as soon as possible.”
Hopefully as he says its a small injury that it wont be too bad. We can only hope.
