Injured Hudson-Odoi expected back for Carabao Cup final

Chelsea forward, Callum Hudson-Odoi is expected to return to fitness ahead of the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool this weekend.

The English-born Ghanaian attacker hasn't been in action for Chelsea in the last two games due to injury.

Hudson-Odoi returned from the FIFA Club World tournament in Abu Dhabi, which Chelsea won, with an Achilles problem.

As a result, the 21-year-old missed the Premier League victory against Crystal Palace.

He was also not in the squad for the Champions League round of 16 first leg against Lille. The Blues won 2-0 courtesy goals from Kai Havertz and Christian Pulisic.

However, Thomas Tuchel is confident of having Hudson-Odoi for the Carabao Cup final on Sunday at Wembley.

Hudson-Odoi has assisted six goals and three in 27 appearances for the World champions this season.
