Hudson-Odoi speaks as he is excited to return

Chelsea youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi had a tough time last season especially since he sustained an injury which turned out to be an Achilles hills.

He was inactive for the Blues last season as he hopes but has been training for at least two weeks before Chelsea begin their pre-season preparations on Saturday.

Hudson-Odoi like Ben Chilwell has been getting some extra training with the Development Squad to truly hit the ground running in the soon-to-commence new season.

The 21-year-old has revealed he os feeling great, in body and mind, and hopefully, he’s put the injury fully behind him now.

Hudson-Odoi in a statement on Chelsea TV via 90min said:

“It was an amazing feeling. I’ve been working as hard as possible to come back to train with the team and play games. It’s been frustrating to be out and watching everyone train, play games and enjoy themselves, so I’m delighted to be back.”

“For myself, I wanted to push myself to the max every time whether it’s on the pitch or off the pitch, trying to give my max. We did a lot of gym work off the pitch to get a bit bigger and stronger, to try to be more muscular. But at the same time, on the pitch it’s been working hard doing individual sessions.

“It feels great to be back, it’s amazing.”
