"2022 Has Been The Toughest Year To Date": Reece James Label 2022 As His Toughest Year
Reece James has described 2022 as his toughest year professionally barely days after suffering another injury setback.
The Chelsea right-back was only returning to the side after two months out with an injury but did not last an hour against Bournemouth on Tuesday, December 27.
During the first half, James looked fairly comfortable as his side took a comprehensive 2-0 lead. In the second half however, there were signs all was not well as he signaled towards the bench as he fell onto the turf in pain.
The full extent of his injury is yet to be determined, as boss Graham Potter estimates they will have accurate information within 24-48 hours.
What is certain, however, is the fact that Reece James may not feature for his team at least until 2023.
Taking to his social media, the right back, who also missed the World Cup, opened up on his state of mind after the latest setback.
2022 has been the toughest year to date.

As far as transfer news is concerned, Chelsea are now tracking Celtic right-back Juranovic as a potential backup for 23-year-old James, who is proving to be an injury risk, per Sky Sports.
Reece James trainer with subtle message
Elsewhere, Sports Brief reported on Reece James’ personal trainer Ralph’s subtle but cut-throat reaction to the latest injury.
Immediately after Reece James’ injury, Ralph took to Instagram to subtly hint that perhaps the right-back was called back to action a bit too early.
“I need to bite my tongue despite having a lot to say.” He posted.
