Chelsea and England star defender Reece James has admitted that staying motivated during his current injury has been his toughest challenge so far in his career. The 22-year-old has been a key part of the setup for both club and country over the past couple years, offering plenty going forward and back on the right.
However, concerns over injuries continue to arise after missing a large chunk of the previous campaign to long-term absences. The 22-year-old would've hoped for a clear run at this campaign, but it wasn't to be after clashing knees with Theo Hernandez in October's 2-0 win over AC Milan in the Champions League.
In clear discomfort, James was brought off in the tie and he discussed how he found out the timescale of his problem in a youtube video: "I went in for a tackle against AC Milan when I got injured. I didn't think it was too bad after the game, I stayed an extra day in Milan and thought maybe it was just a little niggle. I think a day or two later I saw a surgeon. He told me that I was going to be out for around two months."
