Reece James Undergoes Knee Surgery

Chelsea captain Reece James has recently had surgery to address a knee injury, as confirmed by the club on Friday.

The procedure was described as a successful minor operation, following an injury sustained during training that caused him to miss Chelsea's recent 5-1 victory over Bournemouth. The club noted that James has started his recovery process and will receive support from their medical team during rehabilitation.

No specific timeline for his return has been announced, and his absence further restricts Chelsea's options in midfield, where he has been a regular player. Chelsea will face Everton in their next Premier League match, aiming for a win that could temporarily elevate them into the top four.
