The current season has seen James play 35 times in all competitions, his highest tally since the 2021/22 season.
This follows significant disruption to his previous two campaigns caused by knee and hamstring injuries.
Chelsea have employed a regimented model regarding his playing time to ensure he is not overstretched.
