The snap was even re-posted by Chelsea, who captioned the image “moving forward together”.

Kante, 31, has not played since August due to injury.

A hamstring problem picked up in the second match of the season has kept him sidelined for four months and led to him missing the World Cup for France.

James, 23, was also not at the World Cup because of a knee issue.

The England right-back missed the last nine club games leading up to the tournament in Qatar but he made his comeback in the win over Bournemouth on December 27.

However, his return was cut short when he hobbled off with another knee injury after just 53 minutes.

There have been reports that his latest setback could keep him out for another month.

His angry personal trainer James Ralph took to social media after the player was subbed off with injury, cryptically writing online: “I need to bite my tongue despite having A LOT to say…”

Meanwhile, manager Graham Potter said: “He’s [James] disappointed, of course. We just have to hope it’s not as bad as it was, and he can get a speedier recovery.”

The Blues have been struggling without the important duo in the starting XI.

The club has slipped to ninth in the Premier League table and they have won just one of their last eight games domestically.

Chelsea face a busy week with three games – two against Man City, in the league and FA Cup, which will then be followed up by a short trip to Fulham.

Those games will be too soon for James, Kante, Armando Broja, Wesley Fofana and Edouard Mendy, with all five in the treatment room.
