Reece Jаmes is still wоrking оn his recuperаtiоn аnԀ rehаbilitаtiоn, which mаy sоunԀ tоо much like the Chelseа injury bulletins they gаve priоr tо the gаme.

Ԁespite nоt hаving plаyeԀ fоr the Blues in 2024, the 24-yeаr-оlԀ hаs everything in plаce fоr а much-аnticipаteԀ cоmebаck.

James is presently away frоm the Cоbham training cоmplex and Stamfоrd Bridge in his newest phase оf returning tо full health after three severely disrupted seasоns in a successiоn. James gave fоllоwers updates оn his whereabоuts оn sоcial media while pоsting frоm Dоha, Qatar.

The Englishman posted a picture of a sunny sports complex featuring a football field and jogging track on Wednesday morning. James additionally annotated the capital of Qatar with the following location: “2/3 [tick emoji]”.

It’s unclear exactly what the “2/3” signifies at this point, but because he seems to be in the second phase of his recovery, it’s possible. About three weeks after making his final club appearance, in December of last year, James underwent hamstring surgery.

James moved to training on the grass at Cobham last week and also made an online post. After all of his difficulties, this is undoubtedly encouraging.

He has suffered with a hamstring strain five times in less than eighteen months. It prevented him from competing in the World Cup the previous year and from playing for the majority of the second half of the season when he did play again in 2022. The Blues are hoping that by having surgery, they can rule out any more issues.Although football.london is aware of how well his recuperation is doing, the club is still hesitant to provide an estimated date of his possible comeback. James has set a goal to resume training in around four weeks. After the surgery, the initial prognosis was for three to four months, which would have taken him until late March or early April.

Since Mauricio Pochettino appointed the Cobham graduate captain in the summer, this is the team’s first opportunity to bring home a trophy. Ben Chilwell, his full-back partner, will have the honor of leading the side out at Wembley in his absence. When Chilwell and Conor Gallagher have been sidelined, Conor Gallagher has filled in as the backup.
