“I hear more and more” – Matt Law reveals what he’s been told about “sensational” Chelsea player | OneFootball

Chelsea insider Matt Law has revealed what he keeps hearing about club captain Reece James as he grows into the role.

James very much appears to be back to his best after a series of injury problems over the past few years, and Enzo Maresca deserves credit for the way he’s managed the England international.

The 26-year-old is now playing regularly at both right back and in midfield, and is having a huge impact on the pitch.

James scored a brilliant free kick against Newcastle last weekend, and is certainly leading by example on the pitch.

“And I hear more and more about him, about him around the training ground, about him around the dressing room. He’s listened to, he’s a voice,” he told The London is Blue Podcast.

“And he is just such a sensational player, whether it’s at right back or in midfield.

“I mean, we talk so much about Palmer and Caicedo. And in actual fact, someone messaged me the other day and said, there’s Chelsea with Reece James and there’s Chelsea without Reece James.”

The Blues are unbeaten in their last three games in all competitions, but will need to be at their best to get a result against a Villa side who’ve won ten games in a row.

Chelsea are currently seven points behind Unai Emery’s men, but hope to be boosted by the return of Liam Delap and Estevao who have missed the last few games through injury.
