Hudson-Odoi Confirms Season Is Over  (Sky Sports)

Callum Hudson-Odoi has confirmed he will miss the rest of the season after rupturing his Achilles during Chelsea's 2-2 draw against Burnley.

The 18-year-old appeared to pick up an injury when controlling a pass just before the 40-minute mark. He attempted to play on but continued to limp, and it quickly became apparent he would need to be replaced.

Pedro was summoned from the bench and Hudson-Odoi had to be helped by staff members as he hobbled out of the action.

Hudson-Odoi confirmed after the game he will now miss the rest of the season.

"Really gutted to end my season with a ruptured Achilles, got to work hard and try and come back stronger for next season!!!" Hudson-Odoi tweeted,

Earlier assistant manager Gianfranco Zola had confirmed Chelsea were not optimistic about Hudson-Odoi's condition.

"Unfortunately [with] Hudson-Odoi it looks a serious thing," Zola told Sky Sports. "We have to wait until tomorrow before I can tell you how serious it is going to be but it is not looking good."

N'Golo Kante, who scored Chelsea's first goal in the draw, also came off with a rib injury at half-time but Zola does not expect the Ivorian midfielder to miss time.

"N'Golo was taken down as he was going on a counter and he fell on the foot of a player so he just had a contusion in his ribs," Zola explained.

"He could not breathe properly and that is why he came out. He will be alright. It is not serious."
