In a recent Instagram post, Chelsea's captain, Reece James, shared images from his hospital bed following a successful surgery in Finland. The 24-year-old underwent the procedure to address a recurring hamstring injury, which he sustained during the 2-0 loss to Everton earlier this month.
James, who had previously dealt with a similar injury earlier in the season, flew to Finland for the surgery. The recovery period is expected to keep him sidelined for the next four months. Taking to social media, James expressed gratitude for the support he has received, acknowledging the challenges of dealing with both physical and mental aspects of rehabilitation.
In his Instagram statement, James revealed, "The footballing world knew I got injured, but the procedure I would go down this time took slightly longer to figure out the best solution. I had surgery today to try to fix my recurring hamstring issue, and the recovery has started, both physically and mentally."
Despite facing criticism and negativity, James emphasized his desire to be on the pitch, stating, "Believe me, I don’t wanna be injured; I’m happiest when I’m playing football. Thanks to the understanding people that support me despite the highs or the lows, it goes a long way. Stay well, Reece."
