John Terry<\/a> says he ‘doesn’t like’ Enzo Maresca<\/a>’s assessment of Reece James<\/a> and agrees with Thomas Tuchel<\/a> that the Chelsea captain should remain a defender.<\/p>\n

James has been hampered by a series of injury problems in recent seasons but, when fit, the 25-year-old is widely considered to be among the most complete right-backs in world football.<\/p>\n

The England international’s’ versatility has, at times, proven invaluable at Chelsea, with the full-back infrequently covering central midfield and centre-back when called upon.<\/p>\n

While rising through the Blues’ youth ranks, James was deployed in a number of positions and made his breakthrough at Stamford Bridge after playing a starring role on loan at Wigan Athletic as an attack-minded midfielder.<\/p>\n

But facing the media earlier this month, Maresca went a step further and suggested James’ long-term future could lie in the middle of the park<\/a> – something the Italian has felt ‘since day one’ as manager.<\/p>\n

‘You can ask Reece, the day after I signed with Chelsea, I sent him a video about seeing him as a midfielder,’ Maresca told reporters ahead of his side’s 1-0 victory over Leicester.<\/p>\n

‘I see Reece as a midfielder, not just now but since day one. Before I met him for the first time, when he was on holiday, I sent him a clip of how he could play as a midfielder.<\/p>\n

‘So I imagined him playing as a midfielder a long time ago. He is playing [there] now, but the good thing is this season he has played as a full-back, a central defender, many positions, but the main target for us is to help him stay fit all season<\/p>\n

An injury to Cole Palmer<\/a> saw James start in midfield alongside Moises Caicedo against Arsenal last weekend and the Chelsea skipper was tasked with man-marking Declan Rice.<\/p>\n

But James badly struggled and was replaced by Romeo Lavia in the closing stages of Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat<\/a>, with Wayne Rooney among those to question Maresca’s bold selection at the Emirates<\/a>.<\/p>\n
