Chelsea captain James will be fit for Euros, insists his surgeon

Chelsea captain Reece James will be fit for England's Euros campaign.

That's according to his surgeon after he underwent hamstring surgery this week.

Finland-based Dr. Lasse Lempainen told the Telegraph: "I am very convinced that Reece will be in top shape before the European Championships.

"Chelsea will decide on how long he takes, but more likely we are talking about that kind of period [three to four months].

"The surgery gives Reece a better chance of staying fit and not having a recurring problem.

"We will try to do our best during the rehab process to assess the risk factors in Reece's left hamstring and try to help his strength, mobility and sprinting technique, so Reece can enjoy high-level football again."
