But James joined the rest of his Blues team-mates in the Middle East for their mid-season training camp.
And James featured in their training ground friendly against Brentford last week having after making his return to training.
As a result, he was put straight back into the side by Graham Potter for the first time since injuring his knee against AC Milan.
James showed few signs of rust during the opening period, but disaster struck moments after the interval.
That’s because the England star came off in the 53rd minute.
James had signalled to the bench about his knee on a couple of occassions.
And was then eventually replaced by Cesar Azpilicueta.
