Could Lauren James’s hamstring injury have been a “blessing in disguise” for the England Lionesses? Defender Jess Carter certainly thinks so, noting James’s renewed freshness and sharper play since her recovery. This period of forced rest appears to have revitalized her.
This perspective highlights a positive spin on what could have been a major setback. The time off seems to have allowed James to come back not just recovered, but potentially stronger and more determined than ever.
James is expected to feature off the bench in Sunday’s friendly against Jamaica, with England carefully managing her minutes ahead of the Women’s Euros. Her injury seems to have fueled a powerful comeback, making her an even more formidable player to face.
