Chelsea fans react with frustration
Team captain Reece James has suffered another injury
Chelsea fans have reacted with frustration after Enzo Maresca confirmed that team captain Reece James has suffered another injury.
The captain started his latest comeback a month ago, and now, unfortunately, he has been injured again and will therefore be unable to play for some time to come.
Even though Chelsea has more than enough coverage in the form of Malo Gusto, the latest news about James is a major setback for fans who have been eager to see the offensive right-back flourish in Maresca's newly formed team.
"Reece James might never reach his peak at Chelsea," said a disheartened supporter, while another added, "Either sell him or he needs to retire and become a coach at this point… availability is the best ability."
"I wouldn’t sell him, but we need a new right-back as soon as possible," said another supporter who was starting to lose patience.
James is not the only high-profile defender at Chelsea to have been injured this season, and Maresca has often been forced to shuffle his team around.
"We have changed fullbacks based on how we want to play," he said when asked if he knew what his best backline is.
"One day we might want to change the center-backs as well."
