# Callum Hudson-Odoi expected to be fit for Chelsea’s meeting with Liverpool

Callum Hudson-Odoi is expected to be fit for Chelsea’s Premier League clash with Liverpool, according to the [https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-news-callum-hudson-odoi-23588287](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-news-callum-hudson-odoi-23588287)*[Daily Star](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-news-callum-hudson-odoi-23588287)*.

The 20-year-old was substituted with a fitness issue at half-time in Sunday’s 0-0 draw at home to Manchester United, with Thomas Tuchel [confirming](https://metro.co.uk/2021/02/28/thomas-tuchel-provides-callum-hudson-odoi-injury-update-after-chelseas-draw-with-manchester-united-14161252/) that his removal was injury-related.

It is now thought that Hudson-Odoi has recovered and will be available for Thursday’s crucial trip to Anfield, though, having [looked](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/03/02/callum-hudson-odoi-an-injury-doubt-for-chelseas-clash-with-liverpool/) a major doubt.

Chelsea are one point clear of Liverpool in fifth place, highlighting the importance of the game in the top four battle.

Hudson-Odoi has been a [regular](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/350088/Show/Callum-Hudson-Odoi) since Tuchel took charge in January, often adopting a right-sided role, providing pace and directness to the Blues’ attack.

It appears likely that a start may now come his way against Liverpool, pitting him up against Andy Robertson.

It could be a key battle at Anfield, with the Scot looking to burst forward and make the young Englishman do his defensive duties.

Should Tuchel feel that Hudson-Odoi isn’t ready, however, Christian Pulisic, Kai Havertz and Timo Werner are all waiting in the wings, after being on the bench for the United match.
