Reece James fires 11-word injury message as Chelsea star provides rehabilitation update

After missing more than a month due to a hamstring injury, Chelsea captain Reece James has finally turned to Instagram to

provide an update on his recovery.

As he continues to heal from a hamstring injury, Chelsea captain Reece James posted a statement on Instagram. The 24-year-

old played just 27 minutes in the Blues’ most recent appearance on December 10 against Everton.

After carefully weighing their choices, the Blues medical staff concluded that surgery was the best course of action for James,

who has had numerous injuries over the last two years. The Cobham graduate is training hard behind the scenes to return to

the pitch fitter than ever, even though it may be a few months before he does so.

Taking to social media on Monday afternoon, James shared a picture of himself in the gym dressed in Chelsea training gear.

Alongside the picture he said: “On the mend. Hope and wish you are all doing well.”

It’s not the first time James has shared a message to his followers. Shortly after his surgery, he posted on Instagram: “The

footballing world knew I got injured but the procedure I would go down this time took slightly longer to figure out the best

solution.

Chelsea captain Reece James has shared a message on Instagram as the defender continues his recovery from a hamstring

injury. The 24-year-old last featured for the Blues on December 10 against Everton, a game he only lasted 27 minutes.

The Blues medical staff took some time to consider their options before deciding surgery was the best option for James, who

has been plagued by injury over the past two years. It may be a number of months before the Cobham graduate takes to the

field again but he is already working hard behind the scenes to come back fitter than ever.

“I had surgery today to try fix my reoccurring hamstring issue, the recovery has started, both physically and mentally. Since the

injury I’ve had a good amount of support but significantly more hate and negativity.

“Believe me I don’t wanna be injured, I’m happiest when I’m playing football. Thanks to the understanding people that support

me despite the highs or the lows, it goes a long way. Stay well, Reece.”
