Recent reports suggest that Chelsea will have Reece James back in action after the international break, ready to face Arsenal in their next Premier League match.
According to London World, the captain will make his return and play against Arsenal. This comes as a relief for Chelsea, as James has been missed since the start of the season, where he showcased his leadership and became the face of the team.
James delivered an outstanding performance against Liverpool on the opening day but unfortunately suffered an injury shortly after. The extent of the injury was initially unknown, and many did not expect him to still be out of action in October. During his absence, Malo Gusto temporarily filled the gap on that side, but his season was cut short by a red card against Aston Villa.

Meanwhile, Marc Cucurella has stepped up and performed well in the last three games, coinciding with three consecutive wins for Chelsea.

However, it may be time for James to make his comeback when facing title-contending Arsenal in the upcoming match. Manager Mauricio Pochettino is a huge admirer of James and showed his faith in him by appointing him as the club captain. In an early interview, Pochettino described James as the ‘perfect’ player for his team, and he eagerly awaits his return to the squad.
