Chelsea Captain Reece James Out for Three Months After Knee Surgery

Chelsea captain Reece James will miss approximately three months of football after undergoing knee surgery, the club has confirmed. The England right-back had been struggling with a knee problem and required an operation to address the injury.

James has had a frustrating few years at Stamford Bridge due to repeated injuries that have limited his appearances for both Chelsea and the England national team. His latest setback is a significant blow for Chelsea, who are already dealing with defensive injuries this season.

The 25-year-old is regarded as one of the best right-backs in the world when fit, and his absence will be felt both in domestic and European competition. Chelsea will need to cover his position during his recovery.
