Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi has shared a short video of himself training indoors as he steps up his recovery from an Achilles injury.
The 18-year-old picked up the injury in the 2-2 draw against Burnley back in April, and it was expected he’d be out for at least three months. His latest update suggests he could be ready to return before next season:

Achilles injuries can take a while to recover from but Hudson-Odoi seems to be on his way back to full fitness.
Indoor work with a ball is still a way from heading outside onto the training pitch, and taking part in a complete training session, but his recovery does look to be ahead of schedule.
Chelsea fans will be keeping their finger’s crossed that he will be ready to face Manchester United in the first Premier League fixture on August 11th.
