Chelsea's Enzo Maresca Calls for More Leadership from Captain Reece James
Maresca challenges James to step up as a leader, citing a lack of strong leadership in the Chelsea squad.
- Reece James, Chelsea's captain, has been urged by manager Enzo Maresca to exhibit more leadership qualities both on and off the pitch.
- James recently returned from a lengthy hamstring injury but is limited to playing one game a week to manage his fitness.
- Maresca has publicly stated that Chelsea lacks a 'proper leader' in the dressing room, a role he hopes James will grow into.
- Despite being appointed captain last year, James has struggled with injuries, limiting his impact and leadership contributions to the team.
- Maresca identified defenders Tosin Adarabioyo and Levi Colwill as emerging leaders, emphasizing the need to build leadership within the squad.
