This international break has become quite the spectacle for Chelsea fans trying to distract themselves from the chaos at the club at the moment.
With Eden Hazard’s imminent departure, and the transfer ban looming over us, it looks like we’re heading into this summer under a cloud.
That’s not a good time to have an international break, that’s for sure. But Gareth Southgate, like a bearded but angelic figure reaching down from Heaven, called up CHO to the senior England team to give us something else to talk about.
Now, in a press conference ahead of the game against Czech Republic tomorrow, he’s been talking up the youngster’s performances.

Southgate on Hudson-Odoi: "He looks every inch an England international in training and I wouldn’t hesitate to start him."

Wow. That genuinely is high praise from Gareth. It sounds like our boy stands a real chance of getting minutes in the next fortnight. That will be the next scrap of excitement we need to tide us over until the next game, where hopefully the players can give us something else to think about.
