Callum Hudson-Odoi breaks Chelsea record with England debut

Callum Hudson-Odoi broke a Chelsea record with his England debut last night.

Hudson-Odoi became the youngest-ever Chelsea player to represent England as the Three Lions eased to a 5-0 victory over Czech Republic.

Eighteen-year-old Hudson-Odoi was brought off the bench with 20 minutes to go and in doing so made history as Chelsea's youngest English international, beating the record held by Glen Johnson. Ray Wilkins and Jimmy Greaves are the other two Chelsea teenagers to have represented the Three Lions at senior level.

It continues a remarkable rise to the top for Hudson-Odoi, who has 19 Chelsea appearances and five goals this term.
