Wantaway Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi was reportedly surprised by his omission from the matchday squad for the Blues' clash with Bournemouth on Wednesday night.
After the game, which ended in utter humiliation for the visitors as the Cherries romped to a 4-0 victory, Maurizio Sarri claimed that it was not a punishment for the youngster, merely a matter of rest after his 90 minute turn against Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup on Sunday.
However, according to SportBild journalist Tobias Altschaffl, it came as a sincere shock to the player and only reinforced his desire to quit the club for Bayern Munich.
