The Blues wonderkid tested positive for COVID-19 on Friday March 13, less than 24 hours after English football had been suspended until April 30th at the earliest.

As a result, the first-team squad as well as head coach were sent into a period of isolation.

"In addition to feeling good, the young winger is hard at work training at home to build and maintain his fitness, as are the rest of the Chelsea squad.

"It was first announced on Friday 13 March that having been tested for the virus, Hudson-Odoi had tested positive, a result that meant as well as self-isolation, the men’s first-team building at Cobham was initially closed while it underwent a deep-cleaning procedure."

At the time of the news, Hudson-Odoi took to social media soon after to reassure supporters he was recovering well.

However, that will not be set in stone as it could be dictated by any further announcements by the FA and Premier League over possible future postponements.
