Chelsea Confirm Callum Hudson-Odoi to Undergo Surgery on Ruptured Achilles

Chelsea have confirmed that Callum Hudson-Odoi will undergo surgery on his ruptured Achilles tendon on Tuesday.

The 18-year-old suffered the injury during Monday's 2-2 Premier League draw against Burnley, and Chelsea offered an update in a statement on their official website.

"Callum is seeing a specialist this afternoon and is expected to undergo surgery on his ruptured Achilles tendon this evening."

The forward was forced off in the 41st minute at Stamford Bridge and took to social media afterwards to express his disappointment:

Really gutted to end my season with an Ruptured Achilles, gotta work hard and try and come back stronger for next season!
