Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed that club captain Reece James has picked up a fresh injury, ruling him out of their upcoming game. Speaking to the media, Maresca revealed:
“Unfortunately, Reece felt something small, and we don’t want to take a risk for this game.”
The setback is yet another blow for the England international, who has struggled with injuries this season. Despite recently returning to action, James’ fitness issues continue to be a concern for Chelsea as they navigate a demanding schedule.
Maresca emphasized the importance of caution in managing the defender’s recovery to avoid aggravating the issue. Chelsea fans will be hoping for a swift return as the team pushes for improved performances under Maresca’s leadership.
