Chelsea Defender Reece James is set to miss three to four weeks after sustaining a fresh injury picked up in their premier league game against Bournemouth on Tuesday.
The England defender was ruled out of the Qatar 2022 World Cup due to an injury he sustained during Chelsea’s Champions League match against AC Milan in October.
After recovering from the injury that kept him out of the World Cup, James was featured in Chelsea’s home game against Bournemouth but the 23-year-old was substituted after feeling discomfort in his knee.
James on Wednesday, posted on Twitter, sharing his devastation saying, “2022 has been the toughest year to date. Just wanna thank you all for the support, none of you go unnoticed.”
“It’s naturally affected [sic] me mentally, I’m currently just tryna deal with the cards I’ve been dealt. I hope your end of the year is filled with peace, joy & happiness.
“Love you all, catch you next year.”
Chelsea manager Graham Potter commented on the injury shortly after Tuesday’s game, saying, “We hope it’s not as serious as it was and he can have a rapid recovery.”
