Chelsea have confirmed that their captain, Reece James, has undergone successful knee surgery, marking the beginning of his recovery as he works towards returning to full fitness.
According to the club’s statement, James has already started his rehabilitation programme following the operation. However, Chelsea have not provided an official timeframe for when the captain is expected to return to action.
Reports suggest that the defender could be sidelined for more than three months, although Chelsea have not officially confirmed that timeframe. His potential absence for an extended period could be a blow to the team, given his important role in the defensive line.
For now, Chelsea fans will be waiting for further updates on his condition as James continues his recovery and rehabilitation.
