Reece James showed his true colours during the first half of Chelsea's clash against Everton on Saturday afternoon. The Blues captain was one of the first players on the scene when Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall appeared to suffer a muscle injury.
The Toffees midfielder, who swapped Stamford Bridge for the Hill Dickinson Stadium in the summer, went down inside the opening quarter of an hour. After noticing that Dewsbury-Hall had sustained a knock, Thomas Bramall halted play in west London and invited the Everton medical staff onto the pitch.
Shortly after receiving some treatment, he was helped to his feet and ushered towards the tunnel. Before Dewsbury-Hall, who was seen clutching his right hamstring, left the field of play, he was approached by James.
The Chelsea captain comforted his former teammate and offered his condolences, having suffered a number of injuries himself over the years.
