The one bad moment from tonight’s win over AC Milan was the moment where Reece James was subbed off with an injury.
Our hearts have been in our mouths ever since we saw him limp off – but it seems like we might be saved. Speaking after full time Graham potter said he was “hoping” the defender is “ok” – but added that we wouldn’t know for sure for another 24 to 48 hours. That’s a long time for us to sweat.
Potter on James injury: "Reece, we're hoping he is okay but it is too early to say until 24-48 hours after." #CFC #UCL

To be fair, that’s normal – you have to wait for the swelling to go down before you do the scans, and it’s only from the scans that they can tell how bad the issue is.
Fingers crossed it’s not a bad one 🤞🏾 Love for all the messages, I appreciate you all 💙🫶🏽 pic.twitter.com/2DvHS5r4lM

Reece James himself has also posted on Twitter celebrating the win and saying he “hopes it’s not a bad one.” That’s a promising sign to us, as was the fact that he was on the pitch at full time celebrating with his teammates.
My lovely bro from another angle. Never mind prayers always for you. Reece bro we love you 100000000000000000% times and prayers for you every single day. I sincerely don’t happy if i don’t see you on the Chelsea first 11. If you not there the game becomes boring… May God almighty give you good health and soon recovery. Ameen. Love you.
Greetings from boychelsea
