Jude Bellingham and Rafael Leao have offered their response to Reece James' emotional social media post following his injury against Bournemouth. The defender was forced off in the second half, cutting short his return to competitive football.
James sustained a damaging knee injury in the away group stage game against AC Milan in October and was left out of the England World Cup squad as a result. He spent eight weeks in recovery and started against the Cherries but didn't even make it to the hour mark before going down once more.
Graham Potter revealed that the plan was for him to play around 60 minutes in his first competitive match back but that decision was taken out of his hands.
