Chelsea injury news: Reece James update provided by Blues
Source:Football News,

Chelsea release an official update on the progress of Reece James, who has been recovering from a hamstring injury sustained in pre-season.

Chelsea have provided an update on the fitness of defender Reece James. The club captain recently took to social media to suggest to Blues supporters that he would 'see them soon' having failed to make a competitive appearance in 2024-25.

James had played an active part in pre-season, featuring regularly in the United States, before sustaining a hamstring injury prior to the opening Premier League fixture against Manchester City.

To a certain extent, Enzo Maresca would not have been overly concerned due to the 24-year-old needing to complete a three-match domestic suspension before he could return to top-flight action after the September international break.

However, his recovery period has taken longer than initially anticipated, leading to Maresca admitting that his comeback had 'been delayed'.

How have Chelsea had to say? James has since had another international break to try to get himself back into contention for a return to first-team action ahead of the winter period.

A report over the weekend indicated that there was a possibility that the academy graduate could feature on the grass at Cobham over the coming days.

On Monday afternoon, the West Londoners took to social media to show that James had participated in team training earlier in the day.
