Chelsea’s captain, who suffered a hamstring injury against Everton earlier this month, is still hoping for a speedy return.
After having hamstring surgery earlier this week, Chelsea captain Reece James’ physician has stated that he should recover even stronger than before.
Chelsea captain Reece James had hamstring surgery earlier this week, and while the surgeon is confident the player will return stronger and better than ever, he also highlighted that fans will have to wait several months for him to return to the field.
The 24-year-old has had a difficult season thus far. Two weeks ago, he was forced to be substituted after playing just 27 minutes in their Premier League match against Everton at Goodison Park.
The football player said on social media following the procedure, “The footballing world knew I got injured but the procedure I would go down this time took slightly longer to figure out the best solution.” The remark was directed at his teammates and fans. My hamstring problem has been bothering me for a while, so I had surgery today, and I’m starting to heal both mentally and physically. I’ve had a lot of support after the injury, but far more hate and vitriol.
I promise that I don’t want to get hurt; playing football makes me happy. It means a lot that I have kind friends who stand by me through both my highs and lows. Reece, stay well.
Mauricio Pochettino, the manager, has dealt with the star’s extended absences before. During the beginning of the season, he sustained a hamstring injury that kept him out of action from August until late October. Due to the absence of vice captain Ben Chilwell as well, midfielder Conor Gallagher and seasoned veteran Thiago Silva have frequently taken up the armband and led the line in their place.
The Blues manager acknowledged that both the right-back and the team must approach the process step-by-step and not get ahead of themselves at any time during his pre-match press conference for this weekend’s Christmas Eve fixture against Wolves. “I believe he feels well,” he stated. While we were conversing.
“This is very great; everyone is happy around him, and we’re going to support and be involved in this. It is never easy for a player who is having a very challenging, complex season. The time has come to begin the healing process. It will be one day less till he joins the group, and we will proceed in a constructive manner.
“The most important thing is to start to solve the problem and of course, helping him to be strong, being positive, because it is an important thing and that is why this amazing institute that the club has to support in that case for Reece to be in his best form and recover as soon as possible.
In past seasons where the star has missed large chunks of action because there aren’t many possibilities to replace such a vital member of the lineup, James and the team have both repeatedly declined to have the operation done. But since Malo Gusto, a young player who arrived during the summer transfer window, could step in flawlessly, it was decided to forego the chin surgery.
Since then, after creating a personalized rehabilitation plan for the player, the physician who operated on Blues captain Lasse Lempainen is confident the 24-year-old will fully recover. He asserted, in an interview with the Telegraph earlier this week: “We performed the surgery on his right hamstring in Turku, Finland, and everything went extremely well.
“We conducted a few clinical assessments and carefully considered our choices before deciding to proceed with the operation. We all feel that we made the proper choice in treatment, and we are certain that it was. We created a personalized rehabilitation plan for Reece on Friday morning, and it’s now up to him to heal well.
“Reece has a better chance of staying healthy and not experiencing a reoccurring issue thanks to the surgery, without a doubt. Of course, we are only discussing the right side because he has previously experienced some issues with his left side as well. We shall now make every effort to minimize these hazards throughout the rehabilitation process, especially in the last phase when we perform the sport-specific rehab. Yes, there will be more strength in the right hamstring.
I have never collaborated with Reece before. One of the first things I ask for when performing surgery on elite athletes is to remain involved for the duration of their rehabilitation. If the rehabilitation is not done correctly, it doesn’t matter how well the operation is performed; so, I will now participate in and oversee the entire rehab process.”In order for Reece to resume playing high-level football, we will make every effort to evaluate the risk factors for his left hamstring injury and to improve his strength, mobility, and sprinting technique throughout the rehabilitation process.
