Such a shame we couldn’t keep livramento, he’d be getting plenty of game time

Reece James does not require surgery on his injured hamstring but will miss around two months

I assume Livramento was close to the end of his contract? If I remember correctly we offered him a new deal but he rejected it in favour of a move to Saints for regular first team football. You could say the same for Lamptey. Either would have been great right now.

Interesting that our record this season when James starts isn't actually that great ...

When he has started :

Played 19 Won 8 Drawn 9 Lost 2 For 38 Against 17

When he hasn't started :

Played 11 Won 9 Drawn 1 Lost 1 For 23 Against 4

 

I was very surprised that this was the case, but perhaps we won't miss him over the next 2 months as much as we think ?

We have only played 20 matches in the league this season so does that include stats from last season or cup matches and European matches?

Previously we have not missed him as much when we have had Chilwell playing, to have both injured is a blow.

It is all matches, including cup appearances and CL.

Last season he had this penchant for giving away fouls 30 yards out and the opposition seemed to often score from the resulting freekick.

This season only recall that happening once. 

What's the latest on Reece? What's been reported about his return date?

Been rumours he’s back outside training on his own which is good. A few weeks maybe before starting to build up match fitness?

TT confirmed he is doing outside individual training.

Chilwell is back doing light gym work.

Back for the club world cup apparently

Getting Reece and Chilly back will be like having two new players!

No chance he features later this season?

I mean there is always a chance but last I read it was more a case of hoping he would be fit and playing regularly again by the end of the year so this season seems ultra hopeful.

big dog with the 22 22

 

Few rumors that he will be back in the squad for Sunday.

Hope we don't rush him back and cause him to have a re injury.

Back in full training. Looks to be doing quite well, should be back in contention soon 

Well nobody has mentioned him getting back on the pitch, he improves us by 20% straight away, his strength was missed, now we look more like were up for a fight with Reece back.

Chilwell improves us 20%. For me Reece does at least 30%

No defender has scored more goals in the league than him. LEGENDARY JAMES

Having him back and scoring immediately.  Might go on to be our best sideback since Ash

If only Reece and chilly were not out for the December run. I reckon we would still be challenging for the title.

 

reece is a vital player in the system Thomas plays 

the Lad finds everything so effortless, a fantastically player.
