Manchester City captain Kyle Walker has showered Chelsea’s player with high praise, dubbing him the “greatest right-back in the world.” Since making his Chelsea debut in September 2019, James has rapidly ascended to become one of the Premier League’s premier defenders, despite a series of injuries.

 

James’ rise has been marked by standout performances, showcasing his exceptional defensive skills, precise crossing, and offensive contributions. These talents have secured him a regular starting spot at Chelsea and earned him a place in the England national team.

 

Before his latest injury, James was a consistent figure in the England squad, with 16 appearances and participation in Euro 2020. However, injuries have hampered his progress, limiting his playing time and affecting his selection prospects.

 

This season has been particularly tough for James, with only five Premier League starts due to injuries. His absence from Gareth Southgate’s preliminary England squad for the upcoming Euros highlights the impact of his injury woes on his international career.

 

Walker’s admiration, expressed on the “You’ll Never Beat Kyle Walker” podcast, underscores James’ high standing among his peers. Walker, himself a top right-back, called James the most “complete” right-back in world football, acknowledging his defensive and attacking prowess.

 

James’ leadership has also been recognized, with Chelsea appointing him as captain. Despite his challenges, his talent and potential remain clear, and Walker’s endorsement serves as a morale boost as James works towards full fitness.

 

The football community is hopeful that James will overcome his injury setbacks and re-establish himself as one of the game’s premier right-backs.
