Chelsea wing-Back Reece James has lamented over the fact that he will miss the 2022 WorldCup scheduled to start in Qatar later this month.
James has said that he’s highly devastated for missing out at the Mundial.
.England boss Gareth Southgate has opted to omit the defender from his 26-man squad owing to his injury.
The right full bank was already a sure bet for Three lions of England in Qatar but he sustained a knee injury in mid-October while playing for Chelsea.
He said that immediately after he sustained that injury he knew it would be difficult to recover and be part of the England squad.
Southgate has opted for Kieran Trippier, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kyle Walker for the right-back position.
“Devastated,’” wrote James on Twitter.
“The minute I injured my knee, I knew the turnaround to make the World Cup would be tight, but I always felt it was possible.
“I’ve worked harder than I ever thought I could to give myself the best chance of going and truly believe I could help the team.
“I appreciate there was risk on both sides but it was one I was willing to take. Good luck to the boys. I’ll be back soon. Stay safe & send love.”
