Chelsea fans react with frustration
Team captain Reece James has suffered yet another injury.
Chelsea fans have reacted with frustration after Enzo Maresca confirmed that captain Reece James has suffered yet 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.
Although Chelsea has more than enough cover in the form of Malo Gusto, the latest news about James is a major setback for fans who have been longing to see the offensive right-back flourish in Maresca's newly formed team.
"Reece James may 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 who has been plagued by injuries this season, and Maresca has often been forced to make changes to the team.
"We have been changing full-backs 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 centre-backs as well."
