Chelsea defender Reece James has had his fair share of injury problems in recent seasons, and there have been speculations surrounding his long-term future at the club.

There have been rumours that Chelsea could look to cash in on the defender because of his availability record. However, Chelsea are quite happy with his progress and they are prepared to keep him at the club for the long term. The Blues have no plans to let him move on any time soon, according to a report from TBR football.

James is an important player for Chelsea, and letting him leave would be foolish for the club. He is undoubtedly the best right back at the club, and he is also one of the leaders of the dressing room. Despite his injury problems, he remains a quality performer. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea can help him get over his injury issues in the coming months.

Chelsea needs to keep players of his quality if they want to win major trophies. They will need his quality and his leadership skills. Meanwhile, the defender will look to work on his fitness and establish himself as an indispensable asset for the club. He has missed 26 matches for Chelsea and the England national team over the last 12 months.

James is an asset for club and country

Not only is he a key player for Chelsea, but he is also an important asset for the England national team heading into the World Cup next summer. He has played both matches for England in the recent World Cup qualifiers, and he has been a part of all four Premier League matches for Chelsea as well. He will hope that his injury problems are behind him, and he will look to play regularly this season.

The defender is still only 25, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a top-class player with time. He will be a key performer for club and country going forward, and it is no surprise that Chelsea are unwilling to sanction his departure. They are confident in his abilities, and they believe he can bounce back from his injury nightmare.
