Callum Hudson-Odoi is progressing well following the Chelsea winger being diagnosed with COVID-19. Hudson-Odoi's manager Frank Lampard provided an update on the 19-year-old's recovery on Tuesday, the same day the Blues reopened the club's Cobham training base.

Lampard said Hudson-Odoi "has made great progress and almost feels his usual self, which is obviously the news we all want to hear," per the club's official website.

Hudson-Odoi tested positive for the virus on Thursday, becoming the first player in the Premier League to do so. The England international was quick to assure people he was feeling well and was following guidelines to stay in isolation for at least a week:

Chelsea also posted a video of Hudson-Odoi training at home and working his way back to full fitness:

Working and training within club facilities is now an option for all staff and players who are not infected.
