Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel will decide over the next 24 hours whether to allow Callum Hudson Odoi to join Borussia Dortmund on loan.
The Bundesliga club have made an approach for the England winger who has struggled for game time and is keen to play regularly.
Tuchel is of the mind Hudson-Odoi should fight for his place but recognises competition is fierce with Chelsea’s array of wing and attacking midfield options.
He believes the 20-year old can still contribute to Chelsea’s campaign but will discuss the offer with the player before giving any loan the green light.
