'He has made great progress and almost feels his usual self': Frank Lampard gives positive update on Callum Hudson-Odoi after Chelsea winger tested positive for coronavirus

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has revealed Callum Hudson-Odoi is making 'great progress' in his recovery from coronavirus.

The Blues winger was the first Premier League player to test positive for COVID-19 after announcing that he had the illness in a video last Friday.

The deadly virus has brought the world of sports to its knees and the news that Hudson-Odoi had contracted the virus led to Chelsea's first-team players self-isolating as a precaution.
