James Rodriguez has now gone eight months without an appearance in LaLiga Santander for Real Madrid.
The Colombian last played in the league for Los Blancos on October 19 in their 1-0 defeat at Real Mallorca.
That night saw James feature alongside several other squad players as Zinedine Zidane rested players ahead of the midweek trip to play Galatasaray in the Champions League.
That was James' seventh league appearance of the season for Real Madrid, starting four of them and scoring one goal.
Now he has the chance to add to his 341 minutes in LaLiga Santander this season, although he's been left on the bench for Los Blancos' first two games back.

When some people say some things you begin to imagine where on earth is their brain... Zidane hate James? Why would he? This coach stays with him often and trains them. If the coach is not playing him, then there's something James is not doing right. That was how Chelsea fans laughed at Zidane for letting Morata go. Chelsea you got Morata, so how far? It is good to be a pundit and analyze football from their toilet, but these coaches stay more with the players and know their attitude towards the game. Zidane shouted that they should sale Bale and leave Ronaldo and many said he was biased. How far with Bale now? When Guardiola ousted Hart, England fans started ranting. Where's Hart now? Coach knows when a player is finished in a particular place. Just believe the verdict of the coach or atleast stay in your house together with your mouth. COVID-19 is real!!!
