Chelsea's James says 2022 'toughest year' after fresh injury woes
(Reuters) - England right back Reece James described 2022 as the "toughest year to date" on Wednesday after he picked up a fresh injury during Chelsea s 2-0 win over Bournemouth in the Premier League.
James played only 53 minutes in Tuesday s game on his return from the knee injury that ruled him out of the World Cup in Qatar, leaving him and Chelsea fearing the worst as they await a more detailed examination and prognosis.
"2022 has been the toughest year to date... It s naturally effected (sic) me mentally, I m currently just tryna deal with the cards I ve been dealt," James said on Twitter.
The 23-year-old underwent surgery after suffering a knee injury against AC Milan in the Champions League in October and he felt discomfort in the same knee on Tuesday.
