Chelsea starlet Callum Hudson-Odoi has revealed his Achilles tendon injury left him worried he would never play professional football again.
After being made to wait for a chance to shine at Stamford Bridge, the 18-year-old winger broke into the Blues first-team setup over the winter of 2018/19. He struck five goals in 24 games last term, impressing supporters and international selectors particularly during Chelsea winning Europa League run, before rupturing knee ligaments against Burnley in April.
Hudson-Odoi made his return to the pitch on 25 September during Chelsea's 7-1 trouncing of Grimsby Town in the League Cup, the youngster netting with a last-minute effort.
