Blue Armour 4,439 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 2 hours ago, MoroccanBlue said: The ACL tendon does not heal itself. Bewilders me how these “medical professionals” conclude the player doesn’t need surgery when it doesn’t matter how much physical therapy they do, the tendon will always be damaged unless treated. Nkunku will come here and he too will injure the same knee and will need surgery. Tendon or Ligament? Two different things, but I think I get what you're saying. I've heard that a tear or a rupture won't fully recover on its own, but I'm not sure if that's the case with James. But then again, maybe he likely needed surgery but decided against it only because of the chance of playing in a WC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyeye 7,509 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 ffs another injury. FML Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Armour 4,439 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 If he does come back soon, maybe Potter needs to do the opposite. Instead of starting the first 60 mins, let him play the last 20-30 and work his fitness back up.

Seems like some fucker has jinxed the club. Seems like every win has to come at the expense of an injury.

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Forget new year resolutions, all you Chels fans out there should make a new year wish for an injury free Chelsea team and a speedy recovery for our already injured players.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Might just be about time to stick this bloke in the same category as old glass features Kante. This one rules him out for the season IMO. Laylabelle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Apparently his personal trainer criticised the club/GP for playing him on social media and him getting injured. Fernando 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Something has to be done about this. Are the club managing bad the players coming back from injuries? Just like they fired other people because of doing bad work, they need to look into this carefully and put the right people of making the best medical decisions for these player.

Putting two and two together (Fofana and James injuring the same knee right away + James' trainer's Instagram story) the coaching team are rushing these players back.

Blue Armour 4,439 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Just hope the 3-4 weeks is also not a another case of rushing him back. In any case, even if he does come back., he needs to be eased back in. 20 mins per game or something similar. Obviously there's nothing like a fully competitive fixture, but the fact that it took just 50 mins of real game time, as opposed to weeks of training and friendly fixtures to find out his knee wasn't ready, raises questions.

It is imaginable he pushed himself to be fit for the WC and skipped some of the build up but once the WC was over he should have put in the work. We do not know what went wrong but when you a rehab this long it should be expected of both, the players and the phyisios to be thorough enough. RJ as good as he is is becoming our most injury prone player... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesper 30,177 Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Chelsea Football Club has today released the following statement about Reece James... https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/article/reece-james-update Defender Reece James underwent assessment earlier today after being substituted during the second half of last night’s 2-0 Premier League victory over AFC Bournemouth due to a knee injury. Scan results have regrettably confirmed a setback for the 23-year-old, with Reece now set to be ruled out for up to a month. bigbluewillie and Laylabelle 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Graham Potter and coaching staff: please learn from this. Pretty sure GP said Reece was never going to play the full game pre match but why not throw him on for 25-30 mins at the end and play it safe? Just seems amateurish.
