Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has emphasized the importance of reducing external pressure on club captain Reece James, who has faced challenges with injuries this season. Speaking during a press conference, Maresca stated:
“I think the best thing we can do for Reece James is not to talk too much about him. The more we talk, the more pressure we put on him.”
James, a key figure for Chelsea both on and off the pitch, has been working to regain full fitness and consistency amid a demanding season. Maresca’s comments reflect a desire to shield the player from excessive scrutiny as he continues his recovery and reintegration into the squad.
The Chelsea boss appears committed to creating an environment that prioritizes the long-term well-being of the England international, ensuring he can deliver at his best when fully ready.
