Massive Chelsea injury update: James and Chilwell return dates
The Pride of London detail and analyse a hugely significant injury update on star Chelsea defenders Reece James and Ben Chilwell, which includes a simultaneous return date. Having the defensive duo helps no end, also in an attacking sense.
The Blues had nearly a fortnight away from competitive action following the draw against a Liverpool side that is currently struggling almost identically to CFC. We are now only approximately one week away from seeing Graham Potter’s men back in the Premier League versus Fulham in a English capital derby.
So, what will Potter have been trying to achieve in the two-week break? Training has been a constant, from what PoL has seen. The Chelsea squad will be expected to have kept fit in the meantime, if not improve their collective fitness levels.

In addition to that, we believe that the Englishman’s main job, aside from making the team coherent and cohesive, was to find a positive identity and stick to it. And that process would be indefinite, should the individuality be fruitful. The head coach asserted that he has to ensure the roster is familiar with and trusting of one another. Along with those elements, Potter wanted to instil a structure, and assess the numerous signings himself.
Having injured players back and fit would also help Chelsea rediscover the form and faith which made them one of the greatest forces in world football. Two potentially immeasurable catalysts for success in the near future are Reece James and Ben Chilwell.
The fullbacks have both respectively been sidelined of late. Chilwell hasn’t featured much for a long while. Whilst James had further problems when reappearing. The latter is expected to play some role versus the Cottagers on February 3. The right back might perhaps even start versus the London rivals. Meanwhile, there is confidence that the leftback is ready for selection as a substitute.

CFC reportedly wanted to sign Amadou Onana and offload some of their unwanted personnel to Everton in the same prospective deal. However, this ploy backfired for the Blues, partly because the unnamed bonuses were ‘not keen’ on moves to the Merseyside outfit.
