You don’t have to be an expert lip reader to see what Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk said to his captain Reece James at the full time whistle yesterday.

The Blues had just needed a lot of luck and a late comeback to beat Nottingham Forest 3-2 away from home in the Premier League yesterday.

SOURCES: Two Premier League clubs register interest in Chelsea player!

Reece James was a bit of a game changer after being reintroduced to the pitch for the first time in five months on the 74th minute when his side were 2-1 down. He then went on to provide the assist for Nicolas Jackson to score the winning goal, and then the celebratory scenes erupted.

The players were obviously over the moon to have their captain back, and Mudryk made sure James knew that at the final whistle yesterday.

You can see clearly in the video below, Mudryk says ‘he’s back, he’s back!’
