It looks like good news for Reece James and England, as the Chelsea star speaks out on his injury.

Reece James suffered a hamstring injury during the group-stage match against Ghana, which sidelined him for the final group fixture and England’s Round of 32 clash.

And it remains to be seen as to whether he will be back for the clash with Mexico.

Thomas Tuchel refused to give a definitive timeline, but stated that there are hopes that he will return at some point during the World Cup.

Reece James has positive news for England fans

After the mess we saw against DR Congo, Tuchel will be desperate to get Reece James back. Djed Spence struggled at right-back and was at fault for the Congo goal, which even saw Declan Rice drop into the right-back position towards the end of the game.

And whilst there hasn’t been a specific return date, James has offered plenty of hope ahead of Mexico.

David Ornstein shared the comments from the Chelsea defender via The Athletic.

“It’s ok; I’m feeling good.”
