Chelsea captain Les James has been out of action since his unfortunate injury in the league opener against Liverpool this season, and was initially expected to be sidelined until Christmas. However, according to the Daily Mail, the 23-year-old England international is recovering faster than expected and will soon return to training and is even expected to make his comeback in the Premier League London derby at home to Arsenal in the early hours of October 22nd.
In this season, Les James replaced the departed Espinoza as Chelsea's new captain, but unfortunately, the right back suffered a hamstring injury in the first game of the new season. The latest news shows that after a series of rehabilitation treatment, his injury is no longer a big problem, and he is expected to return to the team training on October 7th.
