Chelsea attacker Callum Hudson-Odoi sets return date

Chelsea attacker Callum Hudson-Odoi is targeting a playing return next month.

The winger, 19, has targeted the away match at West Ham on April 5 for his return, but he is taking his recovery from a nagging hamstring injury carefully, says The Sun.

The England man aggravated the problem last week but is planning to resume training within the next seven days and step it up during the international break.

Hudson-Odoi has not played since Chelsea's 2-2 draw at Leicester on February 1. The hamstring injury has dogged him for a large chunk of the season.

It comes after he tore his Achilles in April and missed the rest of last season and the beginning of this campaign.
