Against Wolves, he was named in the starting XI and marked the occasion with a beautiful free-kick in the first half.
He told ITV Sport: "It has been a long time. I have had a frustrating two years. I'm so happy to be called up by my country again.
"I saw the wall and felt I could bend it round. I was a bit surprised it hit the net. Thomas Tuchel's ideas are clear. We have one objective and that starts this week right up until the World Cup."
James is expected to be in action next Thursday when the Blues take on Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge.
