James from England will be absent at the begin of the WSL season due to an injury sustained during the Euros
Lauren James, a key player for Chelsea Women, will miss the start of the upcoming Women's Super League (WSL) season due to an injury sustained during international duty.
James, who played a starring role for England during their triumph at the European Championships, was forced to leave the pitch at half-time in both the semi-final against Italy and the final due to a niggling issue. The additional injuries she sustained include a hamstring injury and a lower-leg problem.
In the 2024-25 season, James managed to register three goals and one assist for Chelsea in the limited appearances she made, contributing to their sixth consecutive WSL title and a record points total. Her performances were particularly noteworthy during their title-winning campaign under Sonia Bompastor's management.
Chelsea have confirmed that James will undergo a period of rehabilitation with the club, and her absence is expected to affect their title defense. The WSL season will kick off on September 5 at Stamford Bridge against Manchester City, marking the start of a challenging title defense due to James' injury.
Despite James' absence, Chelsea will be eager to defend their title against Manchester City, who will provide stiff competition. The upcoming season promises to be an exciting one, with both teams aiming to secure the coveted WSL trophy.
It is currently unclear when James will be fit to play again, and the exact date of her return remains unknown. Fans and supporters will undoubtedly be hoping for a speedy recovery for the talented midfielder, who has proven to be a valuable asset to the team.
In the meantime, Chelsea will need to rely on their depth and the quality of their squad to navigate the early stages of the WSL season without James. Her return will undoubtedly be warmly welcomed when she is able to rejoin the team.
