🚨CLUB STATEMENT: Reece James was absent from Saturday’s 5-1 victory over Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge while medical assessments took place following the injury suffered in training. Those assessments confirmed surgery would be the required course of action.

Reece has already begun his road to recovery and will be supported by the club's medical department at Cobham during this rehabilitation phase.
Everyone at @Chealsea wishes Reece a speedy recovery and will support him on his road to return.

Xabi Alonso on Reece James:

"We are all disappointed, especially for him. He wanted to have a good start after the international break. But he picked up an injury. We wanted to be cautious to wait for the tests. Now the surgery has been successful. He will be close to the team."

Xabi Alonso on Reece James:

"We don't have the exact time. It's not going to be short, or two-three weeks. After Christmas, time will tell. Things have to be done properly. Disappointment for everyone. But we have a squad for that to deal with injuries."

Xabi Alonso:

"We will be able to manage well [until the international break]. We feel good."

Xabi Alonso on Reece James' injury affecting January business:

"No, I don't think so. We expect he will be back [around the January window]."

Xabi Alonso:

"No [new injury updates other than Reece James]."

Xabi Alonso on Everton:

"Tomorrow is going to be tough. But we are looking forward to this game, intensity, high demand and tempo. A good atmosphere. We are looking forward to it."

Xabi Alonso on 4-4-2 shape vs Bournemouth:

"We want to be flexible, but solid whenever we are pressing high or lower. We feel the distances are right and the balances are right. We chose that way versus Bournemouth. Everton will be different."

Xabi Alonso on Emmanuel Emegha:

"He's not yet [fit]. He felt something yesterday, a little thing. He's going to be training next week. He's still no 100% fit to be playing in the game. When he is fit, he is very special. He's 195m, he's quick, attacks the space."

Ladies and Gentlemen, It's Matchday 💙💙 #COYB
