John Obi Mikel, who played for Chelsea, spoke coolly to Reece James, who was groaning with a series of injuries.
Chelsea’s source Chelsea Chronicle reported on Wednesday (Korea time) that “Michelle is a big fan of James. However, he mentioned a problem.” Mikel is a 36-year-old former Nigerian football player. During the past 11 years since 2006, he has won two Premier League titles, one UEFA Champions League title and four FA Cup titles.
Known by his nickname “back and hard” among Korean soccer fans, Mikel was evaluated as a midfielder with good ball keeping and defense. After leaving Chelsea, he retired from active duty in 2022 after playing for Tianjin Tudda (China), Trabzonspor (Turkiye), and Kuwait SC.
According to the Chelsea Chronicle, Mikel said, “I love James as a footballer. And I think he suits Chelsea as the captain. But if you keep getting injured like you do now, you can’t be the captain.”
James is an English defender who was born in 1999. Having grown up at Chelsea Youth Academy, he rented for Wigan Athletic in the 2018-19 season. After returning to Chelsea, he began to show his presence. He played in 24 league games in the 2019-20 season and expanded his presence by playing 32 games the following season.
James, who has good overall offense and defense skills, instantly garnered high expectations from the English soccer community. He has also been selected as a member of the England national team and has played in 16 A-matches so far. He also became the captain of Chelsea due to Pochettino’s choice ahead of this season.
However, the problem is that James’ injury frequency is too frequent. James missed about 112 days due to an ankle injury in the early 2019-20 season. Since then, he has sustained major and minor injuries. Last season, he also left the ground with a total of six injuries. That period is about 150 days in total. In particular, he has had seven hamstring problems.
He was sidelined due to injury in the beginning of this season as well. He recovered for about two months after the opening game of the league, and made his comeback in a match against Arsenal in late October. He has been playing consistently since then, but was injured again in the match against Everton in mid-December and was substituted just 27 minutes into the first half.
Talk Sports reported that “James is one of the best players at Chelsea when he is on the pitch. However, the problem of his injury is a real concern. James has suffered 17 injuries since joining the Chelsea first team in 2019.”
Originally, Mauricio Pochettino hoped James would be able to deal with his hamstring injury without surgery. However, he ultimately decided after undergoing surgery.
“Everyone knew that I was injured. It took some time to find the best solution for this injury. And I had surgery today. I wanted to solve my chronic hamstring problem,” James said on his SNS account on April 22.
“Now I’m trying to recover both my body and mind. I’ve received a lot of support since my injury, but I’ve seen many negative comments as well. I don’t want to get hurt. I’m the happiest person when I play soccer. I’m energized by the people who always cheer me on when I’m good or bad,” James said. Currently, he will return to Korea in April.
