England end Ghana's Hudson-Odoi hopes in Czech Republic rout

Ghana's dreams of convincing Chelsea's Callum Hudson-Odoi for a switch of international allegiance are well over after the 18-year-old made his competitive debut for England on Friday.

The attacker made his bow as a 70th-minute substitute as The Three Lions beat Czech Republic 5-0 in the Uefa Euro 2020 qualifiers at Wembley Stadium.

With the game a competitive match, the starlet has now become cap-tied to England, thereby making him ineligible for a future switch of international allegiance.

Born in Wandsworth to Ghanaian parents, the winger was until Friday's outing eligible to represent either nation at senior stage despite having played for the country of his birth at various youth levels.
