But the 19-year-old could face an extended spell on the sidelines after being forced off in the 37th minute of England Under-20s defeat to Chiles Under-23s side.James was given oxygen before being replaced by West Broms Sam Field as England conceded an injury-time own goal in the Toulon Tournament.If Chelseas two-window transfer ban is upheld this summer, James could fancy his first-team chances at Stamford Bridge next term. The full-back missed just one of Wigans 46 Championship games as the club preserved their second tier status under Paul Cook.But James’ ankle problem is another blow to Chelsea, who look set to be without Callum Hudson-Odoi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek at the beginning of the next season due to injury.Despite his injury setback, James, who has been linked with moves to Manchester United, Leicester and Brighton, is reportedly set to sign a new long-term contract with the Blues.
