Reece James to Return for Chelsea in May

Published April 6, 2026 · Updated April 6, 2026 · Yahoo Sport

Chelsea right-back Reece James is set to return to action by the end of this month or early May after recovering from a hamstring injury.

The 22-capped England international missed the last three games but a two-month layoff is not expected. Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior will look to integrate James back into the squad as the club targets a top-five finish and the FA Cup.

Rosenior must manage James carefully due to his injury history. The manager needs to balance using the versatile star's quality with avoiding burnout during the crucial run-in.
