Enzo Maresca reiterates plan to manage 'important' Reece James

 

Enzo Maresca has reiterated the importance of club captain Reece James to Chelsea but insists the Academy graduate will be carefully managed on his journey back to full fitness.

James made his comeback from a hamstring injury by playing 45 minutes in the FA Cup against Morecambe and showcased his undoubted qualities during the second half of our Premier League game against Bournemouth,

With the Blues trailing heading into second-half stoppage time at Stamford Bridge, James curled home a pinpoint free-kick to earn Maresca's side a 2-2 draw and a point.

The goal was a reminder of James' match-altering capabilities and partly why Maresca highlighted his influence ahead of Monday night's visit from Wolverhampton Wanderers. Yet the Blues head coach also knows there is more to come from the 25-year-old.

‘For sure he’s important, but also in this moment he can be even more important,’ Maresca said during his pre-match press conference.

‘Reece is an important player for us and one of the most important because he’s our captain and because we know how good he is. Since we started he hasn’t always been fit, but he is better now and with him back we are happy.’Maresca continued: ‘For Reece, it’s not about if he scores goals or how many minutes. It’s about managing his situation. So we will see.

‘For sure, if he has played 45 minutes it means he can be ready [for Wolves], but what we don’t want with Reece is that we go again and he has an injury again. We don’t want that.

‘Since we started, we are trying to help him and we are doing exactly the same at this moment.’

Mohbad’s wife(wunmi) called in to a TikTok live show earlier today and SHE SAID:

  **"I’m tired of keeping quiet. I’ve been quiet for so long, and people have turned that silence into guilt. I see all the things said about me and my son online — strangers, bloggers, even people who once claimed to love Moh, now turning around and calling my innocent son a b@stard. It breaks my heart. I carried that boy for nine months. I gave birth to him, and every day I look into his eyes, I see his father. Liam is Mohbad’s child. But instead of people supporting me and the little boy Moh left behind, they insult him. They rain curses on an innocent child. Why? What did he do? Because he’s too small to speak for himself? What hurts me even more is that the same people calling for a DNA test don’t know that it’s Baba — yes, Mohbad’s father — who is delaying the DNA. I’ve never refused a DNA test. I’m not scared of it. Let them do it. But how do you do a DNA test when the person who should give consent or push for it is the one dragging his feet? Why won’t Baba complete the p...

This is why we should not let this case go down,and I don’t think it is fair for anyone to withhold information especially his main friends that knew what he went through,if you guys still feel the likes of zlatan and Bella shurmda should not contribute in pointing out all the so called people that made mohbad life a living hell then you are all not ready to make this boy rest in peace,they should talk

  We must not let Mohbad’s case be forgotten, ignored, or swept under the rug. This is bigger than just a trending topic or another viral headline. This is about a young life that was lost under deeply troubling circumstances, and until the truth comes out, there can be no real peace—for his family, for his fans, or for his soul. It is painful and unfair that even now, after everything that has happened, some of the people closest to him remain silent. Those who were his friends—his so-called brothers in the industry—those who shared stages with him, knew his struggles, and witnessed his pain firsthand, owe it to him and to the world to speak up. People like Zlatan and Bella Shmurda , who were once seen around him, who knew the kind of emotional, psychological, and even physical battles Mohbad was facing, cannot afford to stay silent any longer. This is not about chasing clout. This is not about entertainment gossip. This is about justice . If we continue to act like it's not...
