Reece James prepares for Aston Villa clash by first doing the Enzo Fernandez Omen; Here is what he did
Reece James prepares for Aston Villa clash by first doing the Enzo Fernandez Omen; Here is what he did.
Most times Enzo Fernandez always walks into matches with a dyed hair and of course his favorite color is white and this is the same thing Reece James has tried to do.
Reece James has shown off his new haircut ahead of Chelsea’s clash with Aston Villa. Graham Potter’s side will welcome the Villans to Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon as the Blues plot an ambitious push for top-four following the international break.
The midfielder dyed his hair blonde when summoned to international duty with Argentina earlier this month. Fernandez wrapped up his record-breaking move to Chelsea while blonde, so the hair color could be a lucky omen for him having hit the ground running in west London.
James will be hoping for the same luck against Villa amid concerns over his fitness. The 23-year-old withdrew from the England squad on Sunday evening due to an ‘ongoing issue’ with a minor hamstring issue.
The Chelsea defender has struggled with various injuries problems all season-long and unfortunately, it looked like to be another setback. However, it appears that James’ withdrawal was just simply a precaution having been pictured in training at Cobham.
Speaking to the press ahead of the clash with Villa, Potter issued an update on the right-back. The Blues boss said: “Reece as well, he’s had the last two training sessions with us so providing there’s no reaction, he should be available.”
Then, on the international breaker, Potter added: “I wouldn’t say it’s good or bad. There’s nothing you can do about it, you’ve just got to take what they are and use them as positively as we can.
“We’ve had a bit of time, N’Golo has had some time on the pitch and a bit more game time so that’s been good for him. We had a handful of players, not even, in the first week so they were more working individually.
“The rest of us were reflecting and analyzing how we can improve and looking forward to this game at the weekend.”
