After suffering a hamstring injury, Chelsea captain Reece James receives a heartfelt message from Mykhaylo Mudryk.

“Waiting yall for you, captain,” was the five-word message that Mykhaylo Mudryk wrote to Chelsea captain Reece James on his most recent Instagram story.

Following MRI tests, Reece James is anticipated to miss two to three months due to another hamstring injury he sustained during the same season.

The 24-year-old was substituted earlier in the 27th minute due to a hamstring injury he acquired during a 2-0 loss to Everton. It has been disastrous for a player who has been plagued by ailments since the previous season.

Since these injuries are serious and will keep James out for a long time, James needs to evaluate his routine because he is still a young player.

James’ rehabilitation at Cobham will now commence, and it’s understood the right-back will consult a doctor over his hamstring problem. The Chelsea website issued the following statement after his MRI scan:

“Captain Reece James has undergone a medical assessment… The defender was withdrawn during the first half at Goodison Park, and scan results have confirmed a hamstring injury. Reece will now begin his rehabilitation programme at Cobham.”

It’s regrettable that a talented right-back has been sidelined for so long by injury. It is terrible for him that he is only 24 years old. We have witnessed numerous instances of players who are prone to injuries and are forced to end their careers, so the club should look into this. Additionally, he is not healthy with repeated injuries. Your mental health is negatively impacted when you are hurt and unable to do the things you enjoy.

A player will now miss two or three months of action, which is terrible. Given how important these factors are to preventing long-term injuries of this kind, James might need to make dietary or lifestyle modifications in order to prevent injuries.
