Sixty-two.
It’s been 62 days since Callum Hudson-Odoi’s season ended prematurely in Chelsea’s 2-2 draw against Burnley. It was one of those injuries which didn’t look like much when it happened, but turned out to be significant once examined. The diagnosis was a torn Achilles tendon, and we had feared that he would be out for up to a year.
While his absence fortunately did not hinder the Blues from lifting the Europa League trophy, concerns over Hudson-Odoi missing not only preseason but a good portion of the upcoming season still exist. However, looking at Callum’s most recent update on social media, his recovery seems to be going quite well.
Recovery is going well, I hope to be soon be back on the pitch, let’s go!! ⚽️❤️ pic.twitter.com/SCKbOOzWKu

As someone who’s had to deal with a similar injury, it’s incredible to see the 18-year-old’s progress after just two months. Recovery time for this sort of an injury can always vary and still hit future setbacks; however, at the moment, this is great news. We’re all hoping for great things from Hudson-Odoi next season! Rejoice, y’all!
(Now, how about that new contract ... is is time to sign it yet?)
