Mauricio Pochettino, Chelsea’s manager, has emphasized his commitment to playing Reece James consistently, regardless of his performance struggles following a lengthy hamstring injury.
On Friday, Pochettino stressed, “We are focused on being competitive and winning, but Reece needs time and match practice for his recovery. It’s tough for him to regain fitness without regular game time.”
Pochettino also addressed James’ role as captain, praising his fantastic contribution to the team, his positive attitude, and decision-making. He acknowledged the challenge a captain faces when not actively participating due to injury or other issues but expressed satisfaction with James’ performance and involvement within the squad.
