Frank Lampard sends warning to Chelsea star Callum Hudson-Odoi over starting place
Jul 7, 2020
Frank Lampard has urged Callum Hudson-Odoi to reach the levels of Willian and Christian Pulisic in order to break into the Chelsea team.
The 19-year-old returned to action in the Blues’ 3-0 win over Watford on Saturday after recovering from an ankle injury.
And Hudson-Odoi looks set to face a battle for a starting spot due to the form of Willian and Pulisic.
Willian has scored four goals, while Pulisic has netted twice since the Premier League’s restart last month.
Chelsea boss Lampard said: “He needs to work hard daily in training and when he gets his opportunities really show input in games.
“We’re seeing what Christian Pulisic and Willian are doing. Callum needs to show something similar.
“They can make impacts in their own ways.”
Hudson-Odoi has started just seven Premier League matches under Lampard this season.
And the England winger is fully focusing on his football after being cleared of a rape allegation during the coronavirus lockdown.
Last month, in a statement on Twitter, Hudson-Odoi said: “At a time when there are bigger things happening in the world right now, you may also be aware of the serious allegations that were made against me.
“I have stayed silent and assisted the police fully throughout their enquiries, as I knew the day would soon come when my name would be cleared.
