Reece James has sent a heartfelt message to his former Chelsea teammate Mason Mount after the Manchester United midfielder suffered another injury setback.

Mount, who left Chelsea in the summer of 2023, has endured a challenging start to his career at Old Trafford, with persistent injuries hampering his progress. The latest setback will keep him sidelined for several weeks, adding to his frustration.

James, who has faced his own share of injury struggles, took to Instagram to express solidarity with Mount, offering words of encouragement and understanding.

“Not many people understand what you’re going through, but I have lived disappointment after disappointment after disappointment,” James wrote in an Instagram story. “It’s real tough and lonely man!

“Speedy recovery and stay strong brother! I have zero doubts you’ll be back to your best.”
