Chelsea does not plan to sign a defender during the January transfer window to temporarily replace its captain Reece James, who has suffered a knee injury. The London club’s manager, Xabi Alonso, believes the England international will have returned by then, he said at a press conference before the match against Everton, according to Vanguard.
Reece James underwent successful knee surgery after being injured in training. Xabi Alonso expects him to be out for several weeks, possibly until after Christmas, without setting a precise date for his return. In his absence, midfielder Moisés Caicedo and defender Levi Colwill can, in his view, take on a leadership role. Reece James is 26 years old.
