'He needs to keep training at the highest level' - Lampard on why Hudson-Odoi hasn't been in the Chelsea lineup

Frank Lampard says that Callum Hudson-Odoi needs to keep training at a high level if he wants to earn back a starting role with Chelsea.

Hudson-Odoi has stepped into a larger role under Lampard this season, having truly broken through midway through last season under Maurizio Sarri.

The winger has made 29 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea throughout this campaign, including 20 in the Premier League.

However, since the restart, the 19-year-old attacker has fallen down the pecking order, with Christian Pulisic and Willian the preferred wingers next to Olivier Giroud.

During that time, Chelsea have won six of their eight Premier League matches, vaulting the Blues into contention for a top-four finish and a Champions League place.
