Reece James

The FA can eat sh*t. Like you say, where were they last season when we had to play through so many injury problems whilst the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal can make sh*t up and get some rest?

Also, I don't see them bat an eyelid when international managers are calling up players that are nursing an injury or just returned from an injury. Maybe if Kante was allowed to get some proper time to heal instead of being called up for international football, he could have recovered and not spend what should be some of the best days of his career out injured.

Given how important James is to us it does sound like we could have handled the situation better. Would it have made a difference? I doubt it, but it does seem sensible he would return for medical oversight rather than spend a day sightseeing in Milan.

We won't compete with the top sides again until we sort out these injury problems. It's not normal to see players going off injured as often as this. It's almost every other game that a player will go down and get subbed off because he is injured.

the precautionary scan for Mount is a sign that we're changing our approach  

 
Oh well, just as things were looking to be moving in the right direction, another season down the tubes. We simply don’t have a good enough squad to lose a key player and not feel it nowadays. And a team of continual crocks. Why do we have so many players that can’t keep out of the physio room or even surgery?

 
I don’t care about England and the World Cup. He should stay put and work on his recovery 

if you play with 7 defenders you might as well play Trippier instead of James 

i don’t see England winning the World Cup with Southgate anyway 

like the Catalan don’t care about the spain national team why would you care about the FA who despise our club?

You know Reece does and knows he was Southgates starter so I expect he pushes himself very hard to recover and Englad pick him.

I can't help but feel like we are doing something wrong. Can anybody say they have ever seen anything like this before at another club? We need to reserve a sub for an injury because you can be confident that somebody will go down and get pulled off. If you're pulling players off for an injury every other game, it can't just be bad luck.

Luckily for us, the world cup will disrupt things so it won't fill like James will be out too long. Saying that though, I wouldn't be surprised if we pick up yet another injury against Villa and few more before the world cup.

That’s what worries me. From the Chelsea statement I seem to read into it that they don’t expect Reece to go to the World Cup. There is no benefit for the club for James to go to the World Cup.
 

He has a long term deal, the increase in value wouldn’t matter as we’re not selling him.

Think it is clear where his focus is on in the above.

if Southgate wants him to go I would not be surprised if Reece goes using painkilling injections.

 
I hope he doesn't push himself to go to the World Cup. I get that it's every player's dream to represent your country but international tournaments come and go but club football is a whole season.

I'd say he should take his time. I'd rather him miss 10wks of football than rush back for us or the WC. We need him properly fit

 
Hopefully he learns from this. It was a bone headed tackle that got him injured. There was no need going for a tackle around a player.. James has to learn that he is not a machine.  To make things worse he stayed back in Milan to go site seeing the day after the match instead of jetting back to England. I guess he has more off days to do stupid sh*t

 
No wonder Bohley sacked some of the medical team given we’ve got the worst injury record in the league. 
 

So I suppose we’re stuck with RLC or Azpi at RB/WB now. That feels long and painful. I thought Cucurella was quite good with his right foot?

 
if you want site seeing in Italy, Milano is the ‘last’ place to do it. it is all and about fashion stores or maybe even partying. to think of that it’s a f**king stupid decission

 
It’s always been a concern with Reece. He’s built like a tank and when youre running and turning at the pace he does with that much weight behind him it doesnt bode well.

James has not made more than 25 starts for us in the league yet.

The only good thing is a lot of his time out will be in the world cup weeks.

We need to get another player that can cover this position better than current options.

I'm thinking more for Reece's perspective.

The thing is though, he'd have probably been looking forward to this for months especially when it started to become obvious he would be starting in the tournament. 

I was actually in a similar position to him a while back where I got injured a month before a trip (that involved hitchhiking, camping etc) I was looking forward too for the best part of a year. Despite family and friends pleading with me not to go as I was 60% fit and told by doctors I had to take it easy for 3 months I went anyway because in my head missing out wasn't an option.

So as much as from a Chelsea perspective I want him to say f**k it and focus on a recovery in two months I can't say I blame him if (as appears likely) he's trying to make the WC come hell or high water.

At one time we had probably one  of the best medical teams out there. Recently looking at our recovery times and amount of injuries not so good. Todd recently had a change and now we seem to be even worse. Don’t know why, but to let an injured player stay over and then come home alone on a budget airline is really odd.
