Callum Hudson-Odoi injury: How long will Chelsea star be sidelined for?

Chelsea youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi saw his season ended on April 23, when he suffered a serious injury.

The 18-year-old winger went down in pain after 41 minutes of the Blues’ 2-2 draw with Burnley with an issue that was later confirmed to be a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Named the club’s Young Player of the Year, he had been winning increasingly regular game time under head coach Maurizio Sarri, having been previously unsettled after spending much of the early part of the season on the bench.
