Thomas Tuchel has shared his high praise for Reece James following Chelsea's 4 - 0 win over Burnley at the weekend.
James has just returned to action after a long-term injury and already managed to impress, scoring one of the winning goals against the Premier League rivals at the weekend.
“We missed him for such a long time that you get used to it,” Tuchel said about the defender in the
post-match conference.
"It was nine weeks and in this time we had something like 25 matches so we were constantly trying to find solutions and we did it as a team.
"We managed to win games and even titles in this period but once he’s back and plays three times, today the first time from the beginning you see what you missed. It’s such huge quality and very impressive how decisive he is in training and now even in the games.
"These positions are very important when you play with this structure and it’s the same on the left side so it puts things into perspective when you see what we missed and I’m very happy that he came back like this."
