Hudson-Odoi misses out on England U21s as Elliott and Smith Rowe called up by new manager Carsley

The Chelsea midfielder has decided to remain at Chelsea after talks with the manager, while Harvey Elliott has been called up for the first time

Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has missed out on a place in the England Under 21 team for the upcoming matches against Romania and Kosovo.

The 20-year-old was an unused substitute for Chelsea's first two Premier League matches of the season, though he did start in the UEFA Super Cup win against Villarreal.

Hudson-Odoi was a notable omission from the squad ahead of the 2023 Under 21 European Championship qualifying matches and coach Lee Carsley says it was the player's choice.
