England U21 boss Boothroyd praises Chelsea winger Hudson-Odoi

England U21 boss Aidy Boothroyd has lauded Callum Hudson-Odoi for showing a "first-class" attitude after dropping down from the senior team.

The Chelsea winger was simply sublime in the Young Lions' 5-1 win over Austria on Tuesday.

"I hope not,' the boss replied when quizzed on if he thought that would be the last time he would be involved with the Young Lions.

"He's been brilliant for us, if a player was a senior and then came back down to us they could be moody but he has been first class, on and off the pitch.

"If anything in both games he was almost trying too hard, things don't come off but what he did tonight was exceptional."
