Reece James Set for Hamstring Scan as Chelsea Captain Faces Another Injury Setback
Chelsea captain Reece James is set to undergo a scan to assess the severity of his latest hamstring injury. Manager Enzo Maresca confirmed that James suffered another hamstring issue ahead of Chelsea’s match against Leicester City, which the Blues won 2-1.
Although James recently returned from a long-term injury, Chelsea is hopeful that this setback won’t keep him sidelined for too long. However, swelling around the injury has delayed the scan, which was initially scheduled for the weekend.
As a result, James will now undergo the scan in the middle of next week, and fans are anxiously awaiting the results to understand how long their captain will be out.
According to Matt Law of The Daily Telegraph, James is “devastated” by the injury but is receiving support from the club. Speaking after Chelsea’s victory over Leicester, Maresca mentioned that there was no new update on James’ situation, emphasizing that they would need to wait until the scan to learn more.
James also shared a message on social media, expressing his disappointment but also his determination to overcome the challenge. He wrote, “I’m doing okay, been better and also been worse.
Another challenge ahead accepted. Eventually I’ll come out on top. Against all odds.” He also wished his supporters a happy and peaceful festive season, acknowledging the tough times everyone is facing.
It remains uncertain when James will return to action, but Chelsea fans are hopeful that he will recover and return to top form soon, despite the ongoing injury struggles.
