Reece James is not going through the best of times. Enzo Maresca announced on Thursday the absence of his player for Chelsea’s match against Leicester City this weekend in the Premier League, following a hamstring injury. To date, the English right-back has been absent from the field for 680 days, or 129 professional matches. A few hours later, the right rear of the Blues published a message on social networks to discuss his unavailability.
“ Hello everyone. I hope you are all well. This message is for those who understand and respect what I’m going through…I appreciate you so much. Your support and kind messages go far beyond what you can imagine. To talk about myself… I’m fine, I’ve had better days and worse days. Another challenge presents itself, which I accept. Eventually, I will get through this, against all odds. Finally, I would like to address the upcoming holiday season. These times are difficult for everyone! I wish you all a festive, happy and peaceful season “, he wrote in his Instagram story. His length of unavailability is not yet known even if his coach had indicated that he hoped to be able to count on him in the coming days.
