Callum Hudson-Odoi opens up on "scary, freak" injury as he sets goal for new season

Callum Hudson-Odoi is ready to rumble again for Chelsea after his ‘scary, freak’ injury which kept him out for four months last season.

The England winger, 21, has started just 18 times in the Premier League since took over from Frank Lampard 20 months ago. Hudson-Odoi missed nearly the entire second half of last season with an Achilles problem.

He is now working on making himself “faster and stronger” during a key pre-season for him - with a number of clubs waiting to swoop if Chelsea decide to loan him out. “I’ve been injured for the last four months near the end of the season,” he said. “So it’s definitely important for myself to get back fit, making myself stronger and faster.”
