James (hamstring) is partially in training and close to fully training, according to manager Daniel Farke, per Kyle Newbound of the Yorkshire Evening Post. "Dan yesterday and today part-integrated, close to joining us in full training. Will last a bit until he's fit and ready for games, but good news."
ANALYSIS
James is still battling his injury, but is the furthest in his recovery he has been, with the attacker able to take the field for partial training. However, he is yet to fully train, planning to train with the rest of his team in the coming week. That said, he still needs a week or two before he returns, still positive after his last appearance in November.
