Chelsea boss Lampard can't rule out Hudson-Odoi making Bayern Munich move

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard cannot rule out losing Callum Hudson-Odoi to Bayern Munich - despite starting him for victory today over Crystal Palace.

Bayern Munich coach Hans Flick has confirmed interest in the England winger.

And Lampard said after their 4-0 win: "Callum's performance, particularly in the second half when he got more aggressive and wanted to take on his full-back and go on the outside, was very good. He's absolutely part of my plans here.

"We have Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech but we need options on the wings and what Callum showed today and when he came on against West Brom was exactly what he needs to show so I'm very pleased with him.

"There is no definitive answer [about his future] but by Monday, we will have one. If Bayern have declared an interest then that's one thing but as I've said before, everything that happens by Monday will be things that are firstly good for us as a club because Callum's our player and also what Callum wants will come into consideration but it has to be right for everybody. At the minute, I want Callum part of my squad."
