Chelsea captain Reece James is again in full coaching as soon as once more. And because it at all times does, it brings pure pleasure amongst the Chelsea fan base.

I couldn’t assist feeling excited too once I noticed the photographs going round yesterday. Everyone knows the standard and distinction a match Reece James could make. He’s additionally our membership captain, whether or not a few of us have reservations over that or not.

So to see him again in coaching is at all times going to be an enormous enhance. However like lots of you, I couldn’t assist but in addition feeling a cloud of warning forming round my pleasure to stunt it but once more.

I discovered myself considering, how lengthy is he going to be again for this time? How a lot of James will we see till he’s out for yet one more prolonged spell on the sidelines? How a lot pleasure can we get to witness this time round? Now we have grown used to it, and that’s the unhappy actuality.

Chelsea have executed extremely nicely with accidents this season and managing to tone them down fully, however absolutely James is only a misplaced trigger? No matter Chelsea have executed to enhance accidents, absolutely enhancing James’ harm susceptible historical past is simply not possible? Or is it?

Let’s simply hope that James now has extra of a 2022 slightly than 2023 or 2024, and we would simply be OK.

I feel James is tremendous vital for Chelsea in additional methods than one. On his day when he’s match, there isn’t many higher general footballers on this planet.

I’m not about to begin becoming a member of the ‘promote him’ crowd, however I can definitely perceive the frustrations that leads as much as these shouts.

All we will do now’s hope for some luck and a few sustained video games for the membership captain.

I’ll keep excited but cautious on this newest return to motion. As I’ve reported, Chelsea are additionally being very cautious on his return and easing him again when he’s prepared, going day-to-day.
