Chelsea boss Sarri must find Hudson-Odoi solution - Redknapp

Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri is at risk of losing Callum Hudson-Odoi, according to former England midfielder Jamie Redknapp.

The 18-year-old scored his first goal for Chelsea in Thursday night's 4-0 win over PAOK in the Europa League.

However, he was left out of Sarri's squad entirely for Sunday's win over Fulham. And Redknapp thinks such decisions will frustrate Hudson-Odoi.

"It was a shame not to see Callum Hudson-Odoi at least on the bench for Chelsea. This kid is the next superstar," he told the Daily Mail.

"He is full of confidence, loves to run at defenders and capped a brilliant display against PAOK with his first senior goal. He also took the time last week to meet Chelsea's Under 10s.

"Maurizio Sarri simply has to find a way to give him more minutes. Jadon Sancho has set a precedent.

"Young players are willing to move abroad to play and Chelsea risk losing someone special."

The Englishman has recently been linked with Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.
