Hudson-Odoi to make first England start as injury rules Sancho out of Montenegro clash

Callum Hudson-Odoi is set to make his first start for England in their Euro 2020 qualifier against Montenegro on Monday, Goal can confirm.

The Chelsea winger made his senior international debut off the bench in the Three Lions' 5-0 drubbing of the Czech Republic at Wembley on Friday, forcing Tomas Kalas' comedic own-goal after his shot was parried out by Jiri Pavlenka.

The teenager has been afforded limited playing time at Stamford Bridge, with Maurizio Sarri appearing reluctant to play the 18-year-old ahead of Pedro or Willian on a consistent basis in the Premier League.
