James said: “He had a significant injury last year and it’s hard to be in the right frame of mind to keep on with your rehab, so he’s done well to get back much quicker than he was meant to be.”
“He’s a great addition to have back this year and start the next season.”
Chilwell featured for Chelsea on the last day of the season against Watford.
He has worked hard over the summer to get back up to speed ahead of the new season.
