Callum Hudson-Odoi hopes to hand Frank Lampard a boost by returning from his achilles injury by the start of September.
Chelsea starlet Hudson-Odoi is on course for a quicker than expected return following the setback he suffered when he ruptured his achilles against Burnley in April.
Early fears were that the exciting England winger, 18, would be out of action for at least six months.
