Mauricio Pochettino has just wrapped up his presser ahead of our clash with Nottingham Forest, and boy, did he bring some good news to the table. The injury list has shrunk, folks, and there’s even a glimmer of hope for the return of our skipper, Reece James.
Now, Reece has been through the wringer lately, sidelined with a pesky hamstring injury since January. But guess what? He’s been putting in the graft on the training ground, and Pochettino reckons we might just see him make a cheeky appearance off the bench in the next couple of games. Talk about a morale boost.
Sure, Reece might not have enough time to set the world on fire in these last few months, but that’s not the point. It’s all about easing him back into the swing of things, giving him a taste of action before we hit the summer break. And let’s face it, psychologically, it’s a big deal for the lad. After all that time on the sidelines, getting a run-out on the pitch – even if it’s just for a cameo – will do wonders for his confidence. Here is what Fabrizio Romano tweeted.
And let’s not forget the reception he’ll get from the fans. The Bridge will be buzzing when Reece steps onto the pitch, and he’ll soak up every ounce of that love and support. It’s the perfect way for him to head into the summer break – knowing he’s back on track and ready to rock and roll.
Of course, we’re not about to rush him back and risk another setback. We’ve got to play it smart and give him the time and space he needs to fully recover. But fingers crossed. Maybe we’ll even see him get a start towards the business end of the season. Wouldn’t that be something?
Speaking of what would be a filler season for Reece, he has made nine appearances this term, assisting a goal in the 4-4 draw against Manchester City back in November.
So, here’s to Reece James – our rock at the back, our captain, and our all-round top bloke. Let’s see him back where he belongs – out on that pitch, doing what he does best. Get in lad!
