Meanwhile, Hudson-odoi is yet to start a Premier League match under Maurizio Sarri, making starts in the Europa League instead.
England boss, Gareth Southgate, is however backing the teenager to succeed at Stamford Bridge despite his limited game time.
"If you look at number of appearances, he has actually been on the field quite a lot and I know how much faith Maurizio has in him," Mail Online quoted Southgate.
"He’s maturing well. His progress is good and, given that Chelsea could have a restriction on signing people, then his opportunities will come," he added.
