Chelsea star Callum Hudson Odoi who was caught doing 90mph in 50mph zone avoids driving ban after telling court he was late for training and under 'considerable pressure from work'

Premier League star Callum Hudson-Odoi has avoided a driving ban after explaining he was running late for training when he was caught going at 90mph in a 50mph zone.

The Chelsea winger, 20, admitted speeding in his black Mercedes on August 6 last year on the A3 in south-west London.

Hudson-Odoi, who was left out of England's Euro 2020 squad after being called up by Gareth Southgate for qualifiers against Czech Republic and Montenegro, appeared at Lavender Hill Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

Dressed in a dark hooded sweatshirt, black jeans and trainers, the footballer spoke to confirm his name, date of birth and address.
