Chelsea’s Maresca ‘expected more’ leadership from injured Reece James
Club captain returned to action at Anfield last Sunday‘Because you are the captain you have to give more’
Enzo Maresca has revealed he “expected more” from Reece James in terms of leadership when the Chelsea captain was injured, with the manager saying the dressing room lacks a “proper leader”.
James returned from a long-term hamstring injury in the 2-1 defeat by Liverpool last Sunday, the right-back’s first appearance of the season, and as well as stepping straight back into the starting XI, James also immediately reclaimed the captain’s armband from Enzo Fernández. The 24-year-old delivered a decent display at Anfield but clearly did not impress his manager while sidelined.
