Chelsea captain Reece James’ latest hamstring injury is in the other leg he had operated on last year and ruled him out for four months
Head coach Enzo Maresca revealed on Wednesday night that the right-back has had a scan and is already getting “better and better, day by day”.
While Chelsea have deliberately not set a date for his return in order to avoid putting pressure on him, there is optimism over his recovery. The results of the tests were good, indicating it is not a significant strain.
This is the ninth time James has been ruled out with a hamstring injury in the past five years. He went 18 months without completing 90 minutes in the Premier League between April 2023 and October 2024.
On the eve of Chelsea’s Conference League game against German side Heidenheim, Maresca admitted that part of the issues James faces is coping mentally with suffering nine hamstring injuries in four years.

Guiu finishing still raw, we should be at least two goals up here. Heidenheim are decent though

Nkunku has scored in every game in the Conference League this season.
He's too good for this level.
