Reece James has described 2022 as his "toughest year to date" after the Chelsea star was forced off against Bournemouth last night with another knee injury.
The match at Stamford Bridge was James' first competitive outing since early October and he looked at ease during the first half as Chelsea opened up a two-goal advantage. However, early into the second period, James signalled to the bench that he had to be replaced before he fell to the turf in anguish.
The full extent of the injury has yet to be determined – and Chelsea head coach Graham Potter said it would take 24-48 hours to do so. Yet James has taken to social media to reflect upon what has been the most challenging year in his young and already hugely successful career.
