How serious is it? Chelsea captain suffers another injury ahead of the new season

Chelsea captain Reece James has suffered an injury ahead of the new season.

According to The Athletic, Chelsea defender Reece James has sustained a hamstring injury.

James felt some discomfort during training this week after the "Blues" returned from their pre-season tour in the United States.

Club sources described the hamstring injury as not very serious. However, Chelsea will not rush the captain's return to action.

James has been plagued by injuries recently. In May, the player returned from a serious injury he sustained in December. For James, this was the seventh knee injury in the last three years.

The defender recovered from another injury at the beginning of October and was sidelined again in December. In the fall, he also missed a month and a half due to a knee ligament injury.
