Chelsea Manager Enzo Maresca decision will be made, REECE JAMES has been named as one of the few players that will be sold this January
Chelsea captain Reece James has brought a festive touch to the season by extending warm holiday wishes to fans with a “Merry Christmas” message on social media. This cheerful greeting comes as the 23-year-old defender resumes first-team training after being sidelined for an extended period due to a persistent hamstring injury. Contrary to any confusion, James is 23 years old, not 25.
The talented right-back had initially suffered a similar hamstring issue during Chelsea’s pre-season tour in the United States, which forced him to miss the team’s opening 11 fixtures of the campaign. Following his recovery, James made his much-anticipated return during a Premier League clash against Liverpool, although Chelsea ultimately lost the match 2-1.
Recently, Chelsea’s assistant coach Enzo Maresca confirmed James’ return to training during a pre-match press conference ahead of the team’s goalless draw with Everton. Maresca explained that James would reintegrate into the squad gradually, starting with limited involvement in training sessions to ease him back into action.
Although fans are undoubtedly excited about James’ return, Maresca emphasized that the coaching staff would adopt a cautious approach to his recovery. This careful management aims to ensure the player avoids any further injuries and can regain full fitness without setbacks.
