'He's not far off' - Lampard ready to welcome back Hudson-Odoi as Champions League looms

The Blues boss is excited to see his young wonderkid play 60 minutes in Friday's Under-23s match after coming back from serious injury

Frank Lampard says that Callum Hudson-Odoi's return is "not far off" as he backed Chelsea's youth star to shine in the Champions League

Hudson-Odoi returned from an Achilles tendon rupture on Friday night and Lampard has been monitoring his 18-year-old closely ahead of a first-team return.

Lampard's side beat Wolves 5-2 on Saturday afternoon without their winger but his return is very close after he played 60 minutes against Brighton's Under-23s.
