Reece James has not played a game for Chelsea since September due to injury. It was starting to look like the defender had overcome his injury issues, only for him to go under the knife and have knee surgery last month.

Understandably, some Chelsea fans are starting to give up hope. Over on TalkingPoints, we recently discussed what Chelsea’s best XI is when everyone is fit.

One supporter decided to omit James. However, when the 26-year-old is available, a player of his ability is not one you leave on the bench.
