James was replaced by Levi Colwill in the 27th minute of Chelsea's meeting with Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday. Mauricio Pochettino's side were looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2-1 midweek defeat to Manchester United.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">The Blues are forced into a change.

WHAT HAPPENED?

James returned to action less than two months ago after missing the first couple of months of the season with another hamstring issue. The Blues captain has featured just eight times in all competitions this season

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The 24-year-old came through the Chelsea youth academy to become a first-team star, making 155 appearances in all competitions. However, his start to life in the Premier League was delayed because of an ankle injury and he has sustained several fitness issues ever since.

DID YOU KNOW?

It remains to be seen how long James will be sidelined for this time. Chelsea will likely have to cope with a busy festive period without the England defender.
