Chelsea captain confirms hamstring surgery but addresses ‘hate and negativity’ surrounding the injury.
Chelsea captain Reece James has confirmed he has had hamstring surgery but has hit out at the “hate and negativity” surrounding his latest injury.
James suffered the hamstring injury in this month’s 2-0 loss to Everton, forcing him off in the 27th minute.
After missing two months of the season due to an injury in August, the England international is now headed for another extended layoff.
“The footballing world knew I got injured,” James wrote on Instagram, “but the procedure I would go down this time took slightly longer to figure out the best solution.”
“I had surgery today to try to fix my recurring hamstring problem; the recovery process has begun, both physically and mentally.” Since my injuries, I’ve received a lot of love and support, but also a lot of hate and vitriol.
“Believe me I don’t want to be injured, l’m happiest when I’m playing football. Thanks to the understanding people that support me despite the highs or the lows, it goes a long way. Stay well.”
