Reece James

I suspect we will try to cash in if Real Madrid come back for him in the summer. 

 
Wasn't he like top 5 created chances ITL after the City game despite playing like 3 times at that point?

Reece is one of the few players around worth riding out these injury issues, the big mistake was not providing a pathway for Livramento.

 
Get him gone. The amount we pay this guy per minute on the pitch is horrific 

 
I've noticed every time he is out when he comes back is rusty for a game or two then puts in a good performance and then is out injured. Perhaps a slight exageration yet not by much.

He is gone unless the sedentary pace of Serie A  can help him.

I think the for Fofana won't last and also worry that Chilwell is going the way of James.

Sadly, you can't rely on any of James, Fofana or Chilwell.

If they were all fit, you'd probably think that was three quarters of our best back four right there ... and this sort of underlines the problem faced by our current manager ! Injuries are absolutely crippling us.

This is what's mostly annoying about James and Chilwell, they're out injured, then they need a few games to get ready again so they're playing catchup and not at their best, then as soon as they hit some form they get injured again. A continual cycle with them two, it's so bad I've completely given up on them. 

I'm putting my eggs in one basket for Gusto to become a top player, and I think we need that LB equivalent for Chilwell, Cucu needs to be replaced ASAP. 

 
So if it’s his hammy that’s probably March - April before we see him again at this point have the surgery and get him fit for next season 

 
If it is hamstring, from the most uneducated point of view, surely they must consider surgery to prevent the recurrence. Just wonder what different path he may have been on if he had considered this a year ago instead of the World Cup push, which is totally understandable.
 

Speedy recovery and hopefully not too serious. Doesn’t sound good though given his history. 

 
Just rule him out for rest of the season, make sure he gets plenty of time to address his injury problems and be a mainstay in first team next season.

 
He's had two very good seasons for us during Tuchel's time here. Since then he's been in and out with injuries. Just not reliable and it's such a damn shame as he's phenomenal on his day.

Nah, doubt they'll be that stupid. The writing is on the wall.

It's hard to accept but it is, what it is.

He's one of those ones that will never reach the heights he is meant to as a result of injuries. A shame really.

Didn't we say the exact same thing last April? Give him the rest of the season + summer to address his injuries?

Got injured matchday 1 the following season. 

 
I would sell him to whoever will buy him tbh 

people saying give him the season off. Do you know how much this guy is paid !! His £ per game played is a joke. It’s costing a fortune and for what ? Nothing 

whoever made him captain wants his head testing 

same goes for Chilwell 

 
It's a club that's had its identity torn apart the past year. Hard to really put that much blame on Poch for trying to retain some identity by giving our club product the captaincy. 

James has just been disappointing.

The captaincy has been made pointless now anyway. He gave it to Colwill the other day. Good player but in footballing experience terms a novice.

 
Realistically it is not looking good for Reece. He seems to be in an eternal cycle of injuries. Maybe he will have more luck in a different league but he just cannot seem to stay fit. I think we need start planning for a future without him, and consider who will be captain next season. I would like to see us bring in a player with experience and leadership who could take on this role. Shame we didn't prioritize Declan Rice over other midfield choices in the summer. He would have been ideal.

Perhaps Reece should become "club" captain and we give the "on field" captaincy to someone else who is more reliable and actually has some demonstrable man management and leadership skills ? Don't know who that would be apart from Thiago Silva mind you 🙂
