Reece James has promised supporters that Chelsea will come back stronger next season in an emotional message on his Instagram page. The 23-year-old defender has suffered an injury-ridden campaign – and the Blues have certainly felt the ramifications of his absence.
The west Londoners endured a miserable season whereby they finished in the bottom half of the Premier League, failed to make it past the third round in each of the domestic cup competitions and, of course, had four different managers. All in all, James 25 games for Chelsea this term, starting just 14 times.
While the England international may have recently tweaked his hamstring in training, Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping that the England international is back for pre-season. James is expected to play a pivotal role in the Argentinean's project at Cobham – and he could even be named captain.
