The winger turned down a spot in Lee Carsley's youth squad, a choice his manager is uncertain about
Callum Hudson-Odoi must be prepared to "deal with the consequences" of his choice to refuse his call-up to the England Under-21 squad, says Thomas Tuchel, with the Chelsea manager adding that he does not wish to see the player leave on loan.
The winger, a full England international since 2019, turned down a spot in Lee Carsley's youth squad after he was passed over by Gareth Southgate for September's Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifiers at senior level.
Tuchel says that the decision is the 20-year-old's to make, but has admitted that minutes with the Young Lions would have likely helped benefit him as he continues to fight for his place at Stamford Bridge.
