Callum Hudson-Odoi picture special: Winger hands Frank Lampard huge boost with training return

Callum Hudson-Odoi should be back on the pitch for Chelsea very soon after he returned to training with the rest of the first team at the start of the week.

The winger has been out of action since April after sustaining an Achilles injury in the 2-2 draw against Burnley and has spent the past few months at Cobham stepping up his fitness.

With Chelsea tweeting a photo of the England international on the training pitch on Tuesday, he was then involved with his teammates once again on Wednesday as the club held an open training session at Stamford Bridge.

Saturday's game at Norwich City will come too soon for the player and a return after the international break looks most likely.

A trip to Wolves is first up for Frank Lampard and Co in September, with a Champions League game and then a mouth-watering home clash against Liverpool to follow after the game at Molineux.

Hudson-Odoi's return will give the head coach a massive selection headache as he has plenty of options available to him on both flanks.

Pedro and Christian Pulisic are first choice on the wings so far, with Brazilian duo Willian and Kenedy also battling for a place in the team.

Take a look at our gallery above to see the best images of Hudson-Odoi and the rest of the team during the open training event in west London on Wednesday.
