‘One of the best’… Jody Morris says Chelsea have a player who’d get into any team in the world

Reece James is undoubtedly one of Chelsea’s best players.

The Chelsea𝔍 club captain is an incredibly talented footballer with bags of ability, but, as any Blues fan will know, the full-back has one big problem.

Indeed, at the moment, he just can’t stay fit.

James🐠 has barely played over the past 18 months, and that is a massive shame because, at his best, he may well be the best right-back in the league.

🐻Speaking on the , Jody Morris has been discussing James and his ability, and he says that the full-back would genuinely get into any team in the world.

James would get into any team

Morris spoke highly of the defender.

ꩲ“I would always go with Mason Mount and Reece James. One year apart and my captains in my youth cup teams. Reece, when he’s fit, is one of the best right-backs in the world and I think he could play in any team, Mason is a dream to work with,” Morris said.

Not right now

🧸Morris is right, on his day, James is good enough to play in any team in world football.

🌃However, right now, he’s not capable of playing for any team because he’s not fit.

🍃It’s unfair to hold that against him too much, but as the old saying goes, the best ability in football is availability.

🌱Fitness is as much of a skill as anything else in the game, and if James can’t find a way to keep himself off of the treatment table, then he’s of no use to anyone.

ܫHopefully, James can find a way to get fit and stay fit, because, right now, his career is heading in the wrong direction.
