Chelsea captain Reece James has confirmed he's undergone hamstring surgery.
James had the operation on Thursday.
He commented on social media: "The footballing world knew I got injured but the procedure I would go down this time took slightly longer to figure out the best solution.
"I had surgery today to try fix my reoccurring hamstring issue, the recovery has started, both physically and mentally.
"Since this injury I've had a good amount of support but significantly more hate and negativity. Believe me I don't wanna be injured, I'm happiest when I'm playing football.
"Thanks to the understanding people that support me despite the highs or the lows, it goes a long way. Stay well, Reece."
