Latest Chelsea injury should see the end of Reece James experiment
The injury-hit captain could do with one less thing to worry about
If Enzo Maresca was the most relieved man in west London at witnessing Chelsea’s late fightback against Fulham on Sunday, then Reece James may have been a close second.
It was the full-back’s error midway through the first half that had given Fulham their deserved lead, James closed from behind by Ryan Sessegnon before Alex Iwobi drilled home a fine low finish.
His replacement, Malo Gusto, was however forced off himself with what Maresca later confirmed as a muscle injury, and “not a good one” at that.
