It’s roughly two months in the universal language of the calendar.
Judging by his tweet he plans to go away with England.
The matches are congested. The next month of football is worth 2 months in a normal season. WC isn’t saving anything
The doctors said 8 weeks and you reckon maybe March?
It’s clearly a rush job because Reece wants to play for England (which I understand)
Are they not congested at all afterwards?
Why would Southgate pick him when he wouldn't even be fit for any of the games, group stage is done 29th of November. Even after that, England aren't playing James back to fitness during the knockout stage, he won't have played a competitive for 2 months+, not even Southgate is that stupid!
He did this with Maguire in the Euros?
Why would 8 weeks be a rush job for the world Cup? England's first game is 5 weeks tomorrow.
Let’s see. Judging by his tweet I very much suspect he’ll gamble on getting back to go.
It’s congested the entire way through but the games are more front loaded because the second half of the season is usually congested anyway. You cant fit much more i

Deluded imo, there is no way he's going to the world cup except to watch from the stands and do warm weather fitness if the 8 weeks out is accurate. The fact he's seen a top specialist about it would indicate it is indeed accurate.
It seems likely the club have tried to push the operation and he’s refused hence the involvement of the specialist.
Of course he wants to play, he'd go with one leg in plaster if it was up to him.

Finding you are a Daily Mail reader is more disappointing than Reece James missing 8 weeks.
I’m not but it’s making the headlines today and popped up.
This is the opposite of how the real world works. Medical staff follow the players lead.
Absolute nonsense, the players are told what kind of training to do depending on their injury. In this case, it looks like the medical team screwed up quite badly. James wasn't assessed properly after the Milan and was allowed to stay extra and come home on Easyjet! That certainly shouldn't be the managers call, the medical staff should be insisting he flew back straight away for a scan. Can only imagine how furious Boehly will have been about how badly this was handled.
The medical staff probably did insist, but Reece said “no I feel fine I’m going out”. They can’t stop a fully grown adult making his own decisions.
Is flying home by EasyJet common with the treatment plan?
It may be! But there is no refusal of surgery going on here.
Truth is we don’t know but what we do know is the medical staff have messed up, Boehly doesn’t trust them and James is pushing to get back for the WC (which will be his decision)
I feel like I need a shower after reading what you have posted in these last pages. Your posts appear freakishly obsessive to me.
He has been for years
He actually isnt, just has an unhealthy obsession with picking faults in anything Chelsea related; if he can.
Tuchel really helped build his confidence up. Used him in cup competitions and made him our PK specialist at the end of cup draws.
In fairness, the surgery is only rare because the injury itself is extremely rare. People reading these stories and thinking he “further aggravated it” are thinking of things like ACL’s and MCL’s
He’s been solid ever since Tuchel took over to be honest. That season under Lampard was just a genuine disaster, he literally couldn’t save anything. He’s been a solid backup for 2 years and he’s now continued that form as a starter. I’ve felt relatively safe with him in goal for a long time now.
Football is funny old game. We were lucky yesterday kepa kept us in the game and we have own issues to overcome. So nothing suggests we will win.60:40 in favour to us because it's our home game.
You have to respect him, because even though Chelsea have wanted to shift him for a long time and his wages have essentially been the reason we couldn't get rid of him, he always served his time as the #2 with utmost professionalism. For two years, he sat and waited for his chance, whilst performing admirably when called upon in the cups.
