What has been said?

Following news of Hudson-Odoi’s latest injury, Frank Lampard said: “It’s tough.

“It’s frustrating for him, definitely – a young boy so keen to play, as you’d expect, and frustrating because it’s another injury for us.

“It hasn’t been spoken about that much – we’ve had probably the worst injury list of certainly the top group of the table.

“Lots of numbers injured and important players like Kante, Ruben Loftus-Cheek etc. It started the season that way and it’s happened again in the middle of the season.

“So we’re working against that to try and get the best results.”
