Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has provided an update on defender Reece James’ injury situation, indicating that there is no definitive timeline for his return to the pitch. Pochettino emphasized the importance of taking the recovery process one day at a time.

“We don’t know yet when he will return. The most important is to see him back here and assess day by day,” said Pochettino. He also expressed his hope for a quicker recovery, wishing it would be less than four months, although he acknowledged it could be a 7-8 week absence for sure.

Reece James, who plays as a defender for Chelsea and is an English national, is currently sidelined due to injury. His absence is a significant concern for the Premier League club, as they navigate through their season without one of their key players. James’ style of play and defensive capabilities have made him an integral part of the team’s backline, and Chelsea will be eager to have him back in action as soon as possible. However, the club and Pochettino are committed to ensuring that James’ recovery is handled with care to avoid any potential setbacks.
