23-year-old Chelsea player drops major hint he is about to join pre-season tour of United States
Chelsea defender Reece James has hinted that he is about to join the Blues squad for the pre-season tour of the United States. The 22-year-old posted a story on Instagram saying “see you soon” with an American flag included in his caption. Last week, there were concerns that James might miss the pre-season campaign due to a potential injury. However, it was later clarified that he was carrying an illness, not a serious injury. Now, his Instagram story suggests that he is set to join his teammates ahead of the Florida Cup. Manager Mauricio Pochettino will be keen to see which young players impress during the tour and may experiment with players in different positions, such as featuring left-back Ian Maatsen as a winger in training. James will be eager to get up to speed and ready to face Premier League sides in the upcoming friendlies.
