Callum Hudson-Odoi was selected to start today against Southampton for Chelsea, his first start in the Premier League since April.
Since then he’s been working his way back from a serious injury, and it’s been a long and tense wait for fans of the Stamford Bridge outfit. He’s already picked up a first half assist for Tammy Abraham to celebrate his return. That makes it three in just 67 minutes since his injury return. That is sensational.
Seeing their boy wonder back in action in a proper top flight game brought tons of excitement, and you can see a little bit of that social media buzz from the mainstream sites in the posts we’ve selected below:

Superb effort! 👏
