One of the important people at Stamford Bridge is 23-year-old Reece James.

James, who is now captain of Chelsea, is a prominent member of the squad; he faces the formidable obstacle of his personal training regimen.

Despite his quality, the right back has only appeared in six games this season across all competitions. Hopefully, the two weeks off for international duty has allowed him to fully recover. After James turned down an international call-up earlier this month, Gabby Agbonlahor implied on talkSPORT (7:49am, 22 November) that England manager Gareth Southgate might have a grudge against him.

The head coach of Chelsea, Mauricio Pochettino, has boldly stated that James is currently one of the top players in the world. Considering the impact he has on the field for the Blues, we can certainly support that assertion.

I think he’s a fantastic talent, so naturally we’re really concerned about him. As far as Pochettino is concerned, he is among the world’s top players, he told beIN SPORTS Asia.

Wow, what an incredible player it is now that you can feel it with your own two hands. And I believe he is a player who the whole club, including the coaches and players, looks up to. Plus, I believe he has a great character.Although I’ve always appreciated him as a player from the sidelines, I feel like we’re becoming close now. My words can be easily misunderstood, so I will not declare my love. But I believe you understand, he’s incredible.

Special is Reece James.

James has started all three of Chelsea’s league games this season, and despite facing Liverpool, Tottenham, and Manchester City, the Blues have remained undefeated.

The аll-аctiоn full-bаck is а pоwerful аnd аggressive defender. Equаlly impоrtаnt аs аn оffensive threаt mоving аheаd is his perfоrmаnce.

Pochettino has the ideal choice on his team because we’ve witnessed him gain great satisfaction from his full-backs in the past.

Paul Merson praised James’s performance against Jeremy Doku of Man City earlier this month, calling him one of the greatest about, in an interview with X.

Chelsea fans should be optimistic about the team’s chances of climbing the league table throughout the winter break, if James can remain fit and available.
