Jamie O’Hara has shared that he’s a massive fan of Chelsea defender Reece James.

Reece James, who was made Chelsea’s club captain this season, is certainly in the conversation for the best player at Stamford Bridge.

Unfortunately, the 23-year-old’s poor injury record means it’s been another campaign where we’ve barely seen him on the pitch.

There’s no doubting how good the England international can be when he’s fit and firing, though.

TalkSPORT pundit Jamie O’Hara delivering a glowing verdict on Chelsea star James last night.

“He’s nearly back. He’s such a good player. He’s so good. I love watching him play football,” O’Hara told talkSPORT (11:26pm, 18 October).

We’ve not seen James play since the opening day of the Premier League season because of a hamstring injury, but there’s an excitement within the fanbase about a potential imminent return.

So, will the full-back be ready to make a comeback this Saturday evening against Arsenal?

Chelsea confirmed via their official website yesterday that James trained at Cobham with the rest of the squad.

Afterwards, the Blues skipper delivered an interesting message on social media.

Speaking via his Instagram last night, James posted a message thanking everyone for being so patient with him during his latest injury absence.

We’ll have to wait and hear from Blues head coach Mauricio Pochettino whether or not James is in contention this weekend versus Arsenal, but the signs certainly sound positive at least.
