Callum Hudson-Odoi contract: Chelsea winger ‘demands’ game time before agreeing new deal
Callum Hudson-Odoi wants guarantees over his role next season before agreeing to sign a new Chelsea contract, reports claim.The 18-year-old is thought to be on the verge of penning a new five-year deal with the club.getty1He suffered a ruptured Achilles at the end of last season, ruling him out until September at the earliest and scuppering any chance of sealing a move to Bayern Munich, who tried to sign him in January.With the club unable to register new players this summer and following the sale of Eden Hazard to Real Madrid, the Blues have made Hudson-Odoi a priority, but uncertainty surrounding the manager’s position has led to complications.The Englishman, who has one year left on his current deal, broke into the first team under Maurizio Sarri, however the Italian is set to swap Chelsea for Juventus this week.Dean Saunders says Frank Lampard must take Chelsea job if offered it And, according to The Sun, Hudson-Odoi is eager for assurances over his playing time from whoever will be in charge next season.A Blues source is quoted saying: Its never been about money for Callum, its far more about his development. Chelsea is the team he supported as a boy and he wants to play for them.But if he cant play enough, he wont improve – and that doesnt suit him or the club.

‘Horrified’: Liverpool fans furious as Adam Lallana named in starting line-up against West Ham
Liverpool face West Ham at the London Stadium on Monday night in arguably their most crucial league match of the season so far.The Reds need a victory to regain their five point lead over Manchester City – who comfortably beat Arsenal on Sunday – and get one step closer to their first league title in 29 years.1

Tonight's team to face @WestHamUtd…Jordan Henderson and Dejan Lovren are out with slight muscle issues. Gini Wijnaldum is out with a sore knee.https://t.co/vsTOHL5cCE— Liverpool FC (@LFC) February 4, 2019

However, Jurgen Klopp has named a starting XI which has sparked outrage from Reds fans on social media – particularly for his decision to hand Adam Lallana a place in the starting team.The 30-year-old has featured just eight times in the Premier League this season, with six of them coming as a substitute – and has struggled to make an impact in his few appearances.And it’s safe to say Liverpool fans on Twitter are not pleased with their German manager.Have a look at some of their posts below…

How Chelsea could line-up at the start of next season without Eden Hazard, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Callum Hudson-Odoi
There is plenty of uncertainty as to who will be available for Chelsea at the start of next season.With an impending transfer ban coupled with the potential loss of Eden Hazard this summer there is sure to be plenty of changes.Getty5It is looking increasingly likely that Hazard will join Real Madrid during the transfer window with reports suggesting the deal could be announced following the Europa League final with Arsenal.The Blues will have to promote from within as they are due to be banned from signing any players for the next two transfer windows.They are appealing the decision but may have to start planning for the worst case scenario.Getty5Maurizio Sarri is also unlikely to be able to call on two of his brightest young talents who are set to miss the start of next season through injury.Callum Hudson-Odoi ruptured his Achilles in April and had to have surgery. Even the most optimistic of timescales on his recovery have him missing the start of the season. Ruben Loftus-Cheek suffered a similar injury in a charity friendly against New England Revolution and also faces a significant spell on the sidelines.Striker Olivier Giroud is also out of contract in the summer and could leave the club while the loan spells of Mateo Kovacic and Gonzalo Higuain will have ended and are n.Here at talkSPORT.com we have looked at how the Blues could line-up when the season starts in August.Getty5Not much is likely to change in the Chelsea defence unless Ethan Ampadu or Reece James can push for a starting place.We could be seeing plenty of the young pair next season but Sarri may want to start with experience rather than throwing the pair in at the deep end.Getty5In the midfield three, Loftus-Cheek will be injured and Mateo Kovacic back at Real Madrid.Mason Mount has been impressive at Derby this season with nine goals and four assists in the Championship.Christian Pulisic will return from his loan at Borussia Dortmund and likely to go straight into the starting XI as a possible replacement for Eden Hazard.5Striking options will be limited without Olivier Giroud and Gonzalo Higuain while Hazard was also used up front this season.Tammy Abraham has 26 Championship goals this season and could be recalled to fill that gap.
