Reece James' long-awaited return to Chelsea's line-up will be a welcomed boost to Graham Potter for the second half of the season.
The Cobham graduate retained his place in the Blues side at right-back after missing the previous six games in all competitions due to a repeated knee injury sustained in December's 2-0 win over Bournemouth. James had missed most of November and December after initially picking up the injury at AC Milan - forcing him out of the World Cup.
James' absence, alongside fellow wing-back Ben Chilwell, has left a gaping hole in Potter's side this season and his return last night almost provided a feeling of a new signing. The England international started from the off against Fulham and played an hour before being replaced by Cesar Azpilicueta.
