I believe Reece James in order to remain healthy and avoid this consistent injury crises might need to find some other adjustment to his playing style and which could be playing more into the midfield department or CB, where he can easily adjust with the use of less sprint or pace, to become a more stable contributor to the team, and that's what I'd expect of Poch upon Recce James' full availability with the group.
Just like Neymar, Reece James will continue to experience injuries all through his career and that may force him to an early retirement. Even if the coach puts him in a better position where he can play differently, it will be delaying the inevitable.
Even after the revamp last summer, our medical team is still a mess; these players continue to get injured and take longer to recover; we had the biggest injury list last season and are already leading that statistic this season. So I'm compelled to agree with Harkorede to play James in a less taxing role at the back, or give him the Hazard privilege during training (light training) from the rest of the group.
I am in a crisis this week, William Saliba may not play against Chelsea, he has a problem with his big toe. Casimero is also injured, Mitoma may not also play for Brighton this weekend due to illness, Isak is in doubt for the game against Crystal Palace, he is struggling with a knee injury. Awoniyi is also out. That is a total of five players in my team who are not sure to play this week. I already expect a bad result.
Mitoma is back, but you're in a bind, and if I were you, I'd take a hit to replace Isak, Casimero, and possibly Awoniyi as well, depending on the severity of the injuries.
