Reece James, a defender for Chelsea, has resumed full training and hopes to play again right away after the World Cup break.
Reece James, a talented defender, is one of the players on whom Chelsea depends the most. Since coming into the first squad under former manager Frank Lampard, the 23-year-old has been a star for the team, and the club has shown its confidence in him by awarding him a new long-term contract.
Although he is the Blues’ most dangerous offensive threat when receiving the ball deep and carrying it up field, his defensive stability provides plenty of support at the back. The dramatic contrast between his participation and absence on the side highlights how significant he actually is.

The team’s performance dropped last season as a result of the Cobham academy graduate’s two lengthy absences, which prohibited him from playing. James’ knee injury in the Champions League match against AC Milan this season has brutally eliminated his chances of playing for England in the World Cup.
The good news is that James has fully participated in training and appears set to play again when the Blues return in late December. The defender wrote on Twitter: “It’s been a while, but back like we never left!”
It sends a very clear message to Graham Potter regarding the composition of his future squad, leaving him with a number of unanswered questions before their rematch against Bournemouth. Although James did some of his talking on the practice field in a video shared by the official Chelsea Twitter account, that wasn’t his whole message.
It depicts a defender with the ball versus two or three opponents cutting inside before shooting the ball into the top left corner of the net.
James’ importance and talent are obvious to all, therefore it may be a welcome boost for the Blues before their upcoming Premier League return.
