Right-back of the Chelsea team, Reece James, revealed the reason for not playing in the quarter-finals of the Club World Cup against 'Palmeiras'. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The match took place on July 5, and Chelsea won 2:1. Although the London captain was included in the starting lineup, he was removed from the roster at the last minute.
According to James, he did not sustain an injury, but felt uncomfortable before the training. "I could have played, perhaps yes.
However, considering previous issues, I preferred not to take unnecessary risks," he said in an interview. In the semi-finals, he came on as a substitute in the 68th minute against 'Fluminense' (2:1).
On July 13, Chelsea will face 'PSG' in the final.
