Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi will head overseas in his attempts to be fit for the opening weeks of next season.

The teenager ruptured his Achilles tendon in April and underwent surgery to repair the damage.

The England international hopes to step up his rehabilitation by next month and is understood to be considering overseas destinations as he looks to continue his recovery in warmer climes.

Callum Hudson-Odoi is aiming to start his pre-season with Chelsea in August

Hudson-Odoi hopes to be able to start pre-season by the start of August if his summer recovery plan goes according to plan.

Antonio Rudiger, who underwent knee surgery at the end of April, is also hopeful of completing the bulk of his recovery programme during the close season in time to train with his Blues team-mates during pre-season.

Fellow injury victim Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who is facing around six months out after a complete rupture of his Achilles tendon, is likely to remain in the UK for the early stages of his recovery.

Loftus-Cheek hopes to be back playing by Christmas.
