Reece James marked his return to the England squad with a stunning free-kick goal against Latvia, reaffirming his quality as a key player for both England and Chelsea. Thomas Tuchel praised James, noting his impressive performance and physical condition despite recent injuries. James led in accurate passes and ball recoveries during the match. This goal represents a milestone, as he's the first defender since 1992 to net a direct free-kick at Wembley for England. Tuchel believes James can be a significant contributor during his time as a key player for the national team.
When we called him up, he hadn't had many games, but it wasn't due to injury, they were just taking care and managing him. He looks sharp and in shape.
I know the quality he has in that foot - it's amazing. He has every right to be happy and proud of his performance. He's in excellent shape.
