James responded to his former teammate with a touching message. The England star has also been faced with injury problems for most of his career.

"Not many people understand what you’re going through but I have lived your disappointment after disappointment after disappointment. It's real tough and lonely man! Speedy recovery and stay strong brother! I have no doubts you’ll be back to your best." James wrote on his Instagram story.

James has made four appearances this season, while Mount has made 12.
