Callum Hudson-Odoi has sensationally rejected a World Cup call-up and the opportunity to play in Qatar after deciding to hold-off on commiting his national playing future.

England-born Hudson-Odoi has caught the eye of Ghana with his performances this season as the Black Stars look to boost their ranks with overseas talent heading into the World Cup.
