Hudson-Odoi made his first England start over the international break, impressing against Montenegro, but was then named on the bench as Chelsea narrowly beat Cardiff 2-1 on Sunday.

However, the teenage winger now looks set for his big chance in the Premier League to show what he can do.

The 18-year-old has started four times in the Europa League for Chelsea this season, scoring four goals and assisting a further two.
