Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi is set for an early return from Achilles surgery.

The Sun says his recovery from surgery after a ruptured Achilles has gone better than expected and he could return in just four to five months.

Hudson-Odoi, 18, suffered the horror injury a fortnight ago and it was feared he could miss more than six months.

But he now hopes to start training again during pre-season before returning to action in September.

Bayern Munich chiefs are monitoring his return to action closely ahead of launching another bid to land their No 1 target.
