Chelsea insist injury won't impact Hudson-Odoi contract

Chelsea will renew winger Callum Hudson-Odoi's contract, despite the winger having suffered a season-ending achilles tendon injury in Monday's draw with Burnley.

The severity of the injury has not been confirmed, however, it is possible Hudson-Odoi could miss the start of next season due to the usual prognosis of an achilles injury.

The 18-year-old has so far knocked back offers to extend his current contract with the Blues.

Chelsea have offered Hudson-Odoi a contract believed to be worth £100,000-a-week, and it remains on the table despite the recent injury news, according to Goal.

A number of clubs, including Bayern Munich, have shown an interest in the England international, who will become a free agent in 2020.
