‘Bro might be made of glass’ - Reece James hit with cruel insults and told he should RETIRE as Chelsea star is sidelined with another injury

Conference League

FC Astana

Chelsea

<p>Maresca has revealed that James will miss this weekend's clash against Leicester after sustaining a hamstring issue in training. As a result, the ex-Foxes boss says that he is unwilling to risk the right-back, who has only made four appearances this season. He was initially suspended for the first three fixtures of the campaign but was also battling a hamstring injury, and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/reece-james-available-chelsea-enzo-maresca-reveals-plan-prevent-captain-suffering-another-injury/blt36717b23d95fa02b" target="_blank">only returned in October</a>. Last season, he made just 11 appearances as he again struggled with hamstring issues, and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/reece-james-injury-update-hospital-bed-hamstring-surgery-chelsea-captain-more-hate-than-support/blt018fe9673edf8eac" target="_blank">was forced to undergo surgery</a>.</p>

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>Since the 2019-20 season, James has spent a remarkable amount of time in the treatment room, missing 129 games across the last six seasons. Now, that tally is set to reach at least 130.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After facing Leicester, Chelsea play Heidenheim in the Europa Conference League and then meet Aston Villa in the Premier League. It remains to be seen if James will be able to play in either of those fixtures.</p>
