Reece James has shed light on his day-to-day difficulties of dealing with persistent injury against the backdrop of Chelsea's turbulent season, posting a page of his diary on Instagram.
The Chelsea star has struggled with injury throughout the season, first suffering a knee injury that ruled him out of club action in October and November and kept him from travelling to Qatar with Gareth Southgate's World Cup squad.
A false dawn in December saw James return for one match at the end of the year, but his premature return saw him forced off in under an hour and sidelined until February.
