'Start him vs Wolves!' - Some Chelsea fans go wild in response to video of Callum Hudson-Odoi

Some Chelsea fans are relishing the prospect of Callum Hudson-Odoi returning to action for the first team soon, after the Blues posted a video of the teenager showcasing his skills.

The 18-year-old has been out of action since rupturing his Achilles tendon in a 2-2 draw with Burnley back in April, with the teenager missing the Europa League final, pre-season and the Blues' opening few games under Frank Lampard as a result.

But he has recently been back in training with the Chelsea first team as he nears a return to action with hope that he could be back involved with the Blues in matches soon after the international break.

Lampard has, however, moved to try and temper expectations of an imminent return, adding that it is key not to rush him back after such an injury.

"Callum is training, looking bright and sharp but now we're in the zone where it's about protecting him, giving him conditioning with fitness, especially in the area of his injury," the Chelsea head coach said.

"He has had quite a long time out, like with [Antonio] Rudiger's injury. The international break comes at quite a good time for us with both of those and for Reece James.

"They're all in a position where, I hope, two or three weeks of strong training puts them back in the frame for the squad and available."

But while Lampard has tried to urge caution, a video posted by the club has got some Chelsea fans talking, with the social media post showing Hudson-Odoi performing some silky skills with the ball at his feet.

Indeed, some Chelsea fans are hoping that this could be a sign that the teenager will be back in action sooner rather than later.

Here's what some Blues supporters have been saying in response to the video.
