Watch: Callum Hudson-Odoi scores two stunners for England Under-21s
Chelsea starlet Callum Hudson-Odoi continued his impressive comeback from serious injury with a brilliant brace as England Under-21s thrashed their Austrian counterparts 5-1 at Stadium MK on Tuesday night.
Hudson-Odoi suffered a serious Achilles injury in April and only returned towards the end of September but has picked up where he left off for club and country.
The winger scored on his comeback against Grimsby Town in the League Cup and has provided assists in his three Chelsea outings since.
On his return to England Under-21 duty, Hudson-Odoi put the hosts in front with a sweetly-struck volley from Max Aarons’ cross.

And, after two Eddie Nketiah goals, the 18-year-old made it 4-0 on the stroke of half-time with a superb curling shot from the edge of the area after driving forwards from deep inside his own half.
Callum Hudson-Odoi, stop that.
