Thomas Tuchel explains reason behind Callum Hudson-Odoi’s surprise substitution

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel has explained the reason behind Callum Hudson-Odoi’s surprise substitution against Southampton yesterday.

The Blues produced a below-par display at St Mary’s and they trailed at the break after a goal from Takumi Minamino on the counter-attack.

The west London side managed to come out of the game with a point after Mason Mount converted a penalty in the 54th minute which he had won.

Hudson-Odoi was a half-time substitute for Abraham but he only played for 30 minutes before he was taken off with Hakim Ziyech replacing him.
