James had an unbroken appearance. After being sidelined since October 11 due to surgery on his knee, James made an incredible return to competitive play, but it was cut short after 53 minutes.
Because he hounded Bournemouth down their left side and skillfully collaborated with Raheem Sterling, he was crucial to Chelsea’s 2-0 victory.
Mark Travers blocked the right-back from scoring later in the first half.
However, he soon found himself slogging down the tunnel after encountering a problem in “the same location” as the one he had just solved.
After James was replaced, Chelsea had trouble. James’ replacement, Cesar Azpilicueta, could not offer the same offensive danger on the right.
Fortunately, Potter’s team already had a significant advantage, but with James sidelined for up to a month, they may face difficulties.
