Frank Lampard: Raheem Sterling an 'Incredible Example' for Callum Hudson-Odoi

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard thinks Manchester City forward Raheem Sterling can be an "incredible example" for Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Hudson-Odoi made his return to the Blues team on Wednesday, having been absent since April due to injury. Despite netting in the 7-1 League Cup win over Grimsby Town, Lampard said after the match he was critical of some aspects of the 18-year-old's game.

Speaking ahead of the team's Premier League clash with Brighton & Hove Albion at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, Lampard cited Hudson-Odoi's England team-mate as a modeal he should seek to follow, per David Hytner of the Guardian:

"I don’t like to talk about other club’s players but Raheem Sterling is an incredible example of a player with great talent, whose work ethic added to that talent and improvement in a short period of time through absolute dedication, has seen him become a complete player, who we are all wowed by.
