Tuchel challenges Hudson-Odoi to live up to potential after Chelsea winger left out in the cold

The Blues boss began his career in English football by playing his academy graduate regularly but he has since fallen down the pecking order

Thomas Tuchel has challenged Callum Hudson-Odoi to live up to his potential at Chelsea and compared his situation to that of Tammy Abraham.

Having started five out of Tuchel's first six games predominantly as a wing-back, the 20-year-old has found himself on the bench for his side's last eight games.

Hudson-Odoi isn't likely to push for an exit this summer but it is clear that he has fallen below Christian Pulisic, Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, Mason Mount and Hakim Ziyech in the pecking order.
