Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is not pleased with Callum Hudson-Odoi plan not to feature for the English national under 21 team.
The young three lions will take on Romania and Kosovo in international friendlies next week and Odoi has rejected call up to join the team.
“It’s his decision and nothing to do with my opinion or the club’s,” the German said. “If I speculate a little bit I think it’s about disappointment that he is not nominated for the first team, but at the same time maybe he did not have enough minutes to be nominated for the first team. I could see the upgrade in having some minutes and being in a leading role for the Under 21s, but he decided differently so he will deal with the consequences.”
Hudson-Odoi’s decision could be the first step of a motive to play for Ghana as he has been approached by the President of the West African country for nationality switch.
