What Glenn Hoddle said about the Chelsea star to BT Sport?
Glenn Hoddle insisted that the wide role suits Hudson-Odoi perfectly and it is a brilliant move by Tuchel to use him that way. Hudson-Odoi is one of the brightest prospects at Stamford Bridge and has a lot of expectations around him. The 20-years-old came into the first-team picture when Maurizio Sarri was in charge. However, under Frank Lampard, he struggled very much.
Chelsea will play Atletico Madrid next in the Champions League in the first leg of the tie away in Spain. It will not be an easy fixture with both teams keen to win and go through to the next round.
