Chelsea have been handed a significant boost with news that club captain Reece James is set to return to action soon. The right-back has resumed full training after being sidelined by injury and is expected to be available for Premier League matches in the near future. This comes as a welcome relief for coach Enzo Maresca, who will soon have James back in the squad.
Speaking earlier in the summer, James expressed his excitement about working under the new system introduced by Maresca. Reflecting on his injury struggles and time away from the pitch, he said, “The last 16 months have been frustrating, but I feel like I’m in a good place and can’t wait to find my rhythm again.” The 23-year-old will be eager to lead Chelsea in their upcoming fixtures and make an impact after a challenging period.
