24. Reece James

[chelsea_4_eva 1,157]

Season over anyway. Just get ready for the next one.

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,919]

Should be interesting seeing how he handles just playing once a week next season.

 

Honestly we need to hope Poch turns Gusto into a force too.

[DH1988 1,273]

Where’s his personal trainer posting on socials now?? Ridiculous. 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,477]

No surgery needed 

 

[turgi 71]

I love this guy but how many games has he missed in the last two seasons? Feels like 50% or so 

[NikkiCFC 7,950]

Are him and Mount really injured or club(Lampard) is just protecting them from current shit we are in? 

[DDA 9,690]

The modern day Darren Anderton.

I think the ship has long sailed when it comes to preventing their names being associated with this season.

[Blue Armour 4,280]

Another setback with his hamstring apparently.

Who are these morons trying to bring him back for one more game.

He should just rest and reset for the next season.

The whole club should do that.

Now that Kante is officially gone from the club, I had to change my favorite player over to Reece. He is a wonderful example of a wonderful young man and a player that gives it his all.

I’m gonna keep mine as Kante permanently. Out of nostalgia.

Needs to focus on getting himself fit and sustaining a good run of no injuries over the next few seasons. Has all the tools to be an absolute stalwart here but has to get that part sorted.

Particularly when people have shown how important playing is regardless of how good you are with the whole Kante situation.

He has too. No excuses now as Gusto looks like a player that will thrive in Poch's system given his attacking traits.

Yeah, with Gusto arriving it will be much easier to give James a rest every once in a while. That is assuming Gusto isn't a total dud of course.

Especially now having a season with no European football the match load for James should be significantly lower than usual so let's hope he can get over whatever's injury problems he's been having over the last couple of years.

He looks like he's slimmed down too. Probably realising bulking up probably contributes to his top heaviness.
