Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has taken on a personal trainer to boost his playing chances this season.

Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has made repeated demands for the winger to show him the kind of 'work ethic' that will see him regain a regular first team spot.

And Hudson-Odoi has taken his manager at his word and is spending £1,500 a month with his own specialised fitness guru, says The Sun.

The winger is also coughing up to rent the entire pitch at a non-league club near his South London home.

Hudson-Odoi, 19, is lifting extra weights, being put through his paces with sprint shuttle runs and working on endurance to boost his stamina to last 90 minutes with ease.

The sessions are all being undertaken in addition to normal training with Chelsea.

They were four times weekly before the season started but are now being whittled down to twice a week to fit in around matches.
