**Chelsea’s Dynamic Duo: James and Nkunku Show Off Impressive Shooting Skills in Training**

After an injury-plagued season, Chelsea’s Reece James and Christopher Nkunku are finally back to full fitness and ready to make their mark on the pitch. A recently resurfaced video from May showcases the duo’s impressive shooting abilities as they engage in a friendly competition during training.

Both players had their 2023-2024 season cut short due to injuries, with James managing only 10 Premier League appearances and Nkunku appearing just 11 times in the league. However, with Enzo Maresca at the helm, the Blues are looking to start fresh, and these two stars are ready to play a crucial role in the team’s resurgence.

The footage, which has left fans in awe, shows James and Nkunku taking turns shooting from the edge of the box, with both players scoring six goals each before James’s efforts are saved by the goalkeeper. The friendly competition ends with the two embracing and sharing a laugh.

Nkunku, who joined the Blues from RB Leipzig last summer for £53million, had high expectations surrounding his arrival. However, his pre-season injury hindered his progress, and he struggled to make an impact throughout the year. James, on the other hand, has battled injuries throughout his career and is set to miss the first three games of the new season due to a four-game ban.

Despite their injury setbacks, both players are now fit and ready to contribute to the team’s success. The Blues have embarked on their pre-season tour of the United States, with James and Nkunku both part of the traveling party. Fans are eagerly awaiting their return to action, and based on this training footage, it’s clear that these two talented players are ready to make their mark.

Chelsea will kick off their 2024-2025 Premier League season against Manchester City on August 18, but before that, they’ll face a series of friendlies, including matches against Wrexham, Celtic, Club America, and Inter Milan. With James and Nkunku leading the charge, the Blues are poised for a fresh start under Enzo Maresca’s guidance.
