Chelsea’s 3-1 victory over Wolves marked a significant milestone as Reece James delivered an outstanding performance in his first Premier League start since returning from injury.

The Blues captain played a pivotal role, creating more chances and completing more final-third passes than any player on the pitch, along with making three crucial tackles.

Fans were quick to heap praise on James, with many taking to Reddit to express their admiration for the 24-year-old fullback.

Doomjas highlighted his effortless class, saying: “It’s amazing how good he still is despite the lack of football he’s played the last few years. Makes so much look effortless. Here’s to hoping this man can stay healthy.”

DjOptimon echoed similar sentiments, writing: “Sorry if I doubted you, king, because of your injury. He’s God’s chosen footballer really, not a lot of footballers can put up this display after so many injuries and fitness.”

SeauxAfrican emphasised James’ potential: “Legit shout for best RB in the world when he’s (consistently) healthy. So happy he’s back and praying he remains in good health.”

Fil17 simply stated: “He is just a level above, man. Would love nothing more than him staying healthy.”

Andlad2459 added to the admiration: “He’s the most complete fullback ever. If he could stay fit, he would be in the conversation for the best as well.”

Prize_Barracuda981 praised James’ unique attributes: “Talk about ideal technique and physique. Man’s built like a tank, press resistance that only a handful in the world can do. He just showed what we missed. If he and Lavia stay healthy, we are an immovable object.”

Finally, Shutupyouface1 summed it up: “We’re a different team when he’s healthy.”

Reece James’ performance against Wolves has reignited hope among Chelsea fans, who believe his return to full fitness could transform the team’s fortunes moving forward.
