Double fuck.

Matt Law says no surgery but still multiple months out. And hamstrings (especially severe ones) are the types of injuries that you can easily re-aggrevate. He may not be back to his usual explosive self this season.

So halfway through our season the entire basis of our play style is destroyed more or less. Our whole team is built around two athletic, highly  dangerous wingbacks who bomb up and down the flanks.

The drop off in ability between Reece/Chilly & Azpi/Alonso is so dramatic that we may as well start trying to go to a back 4.

Thomas Tuchel ‘worried’ about Chelsea defender Reece James after injury setback

https://theathletic.com/news/thomas-tuchel-worried-about-Chelsea-defender-reece-james-after-injury-setback/i4px8NhLH3DC/

Thomas Tuchel has revealed Chelsea right-back Reece James has suffered an injury setback less than two weeks after returning to the first team.

James, 22, made his long-awaited return to competitive action in the Carabao Cup final on February 27.

The England international came off the bench at Wembley in the 57th minute before playing the remainder of normal time and the entire extra-time period. He scored his penalty in the shootout defeat.

James also came off the bench in the FA Cup win at Luton last Wednesday and then scored in Chelsea's 4-0 win over Burnley on Saturday after being handed his first start since his return.

However, James is now expected to have another spell on the sidelines after his initial two-month layoff.

Tuchel, speaking ahead of Chelsea’s trip to Norwich, said: “Reece James has a bit of muscular problem after the last three matches. Not his injured leg, it is the other leg.

“But we need examination. We thought he could maybe be on the pitch today but he couldn’t so we need further examinations to see what’s going on.

“He felt it during the match and that’s why we took him out and it didn’t get better. We are worried but still we need some more details and more information.

“It was obvious what he gives to our team and what he can give to the team so not good news at the moment.

“A setback for sure, I hope not a big one.”

Club has so much work to do this summer.

This is just so frustrating. But at least it were not the Burnley thugs who injured him those cnts.
