James delighted to be back as Chelsea siblings make FA Cup returns

Lauren James made a successful return from injury, playing 45 minutes in Chelsea’s 4-0 win over Charlton Athletic in the Women’s FA Cup, marking her first appearance in three months after a calf injury.

She expressed joy in being back on the pitch and contributing to her team’s victory. The win, she hopes, will set a positive tone for the rest of the season. The following day, her brother, Reece James, also returned from injury, playing 45 minutes as Chelsea’s men’s team triumphed 5-0 over Morecambe in the FA Cup.

Both siblings, recovering from separate injuries, are optimistic about putting their injury woes behind them and are eager to help their respective teams going forward.
