Chelsea fans question Reece James after latest injury as two captaincy replacements identified
Story updated
The story in brief
34-second readThe news that Reece James has suffered yet another injury has sparked debate among Chelsea fans – particularly around his standing as club captain. While there is little doubt that James is a fine player and a genuine leader on the pitch, availability continues to prove an issue for the 26-year-old.
Indeed, James has suffered a fresh knee injury and is expected to miss at least 16 games following surgery. Sadly for Blues fans, this is nothing new.
James has missed 147 games for club and country in total, 83 of which since he was appointed club captain in 2023. The fact that James misses so many games is a source of constant frustration and Chelsea supporters on TalkingPoints have suggested alternative options for the armband.
