Reece James has had enough of the chatter about his fitness. The Chelsea defender, coming off a strong season, dismissed the ongoing discussion around his injuries as 'boring'.
A season of staying on the pitch
James played a key role for Chelsea throughout the campaign, featuring regularly and showing the form that made him one of the club's most important players. For the 24-year-old, that consistency on the field was a welcome change after years of dealing with setbacks.
Why the frustration
In a recent interview, James made clear he's tired of the narrative that follows him. He described the constant focus on his injury record as 'boring', suggesting he'd rather talk about his performances than his health. The comment reflects a player who feels he's moved past those questions.
James has dealt with hamstring and knee issues in previous seasons, but this year he managed to avoid long absences. That allowed him to build rhythm and contribute consistently for Chelsea.
The question now is whether he can keep that run going. For James, the answer might be as simple as playing football and letting the results speak.
