Chelsea manager Frank Lampard says he's delighted that Callum Hudson-Odoi is recovering well from his bout of coronavirus.
The England winger tested postitive for COVID-19 last week, causing the Chelsea squad to go into self-isolation with their training ground also temporarily shut.
Hudson-Odi has continued to do some light fitness work at home while battling the virus and Lampard says the player is feeling better.

"I'm happy to say that in Callum's case, he has made great progress and almost feels his usual self, which is obviously the news we all want to hear," the Blues' boss told Chelsea's official website.
"The training ground at Cobham is back operating as a place of work although club personnel who had recent close contact with Callum Hudson-Odoi continue to self-isolate in line with Government health guidelines.
"It was announced in the early hours of Friday morning that Hudson-Odoi had tested positive for coronavirus. Consequently, as well as the self-isolation, the building at Cobham underwent a deep-cleaning procedure and with that completed, it has reopened for those working there who are not self-isolating.
"For the players currently at home, there is of course the need to stay fit and ready for when training and matches do resume.
"To aid that, all members of the men's first-team squad have been sent an exercise bicycle for indoor use and nutritional plans, which they can use with tailored fitness programmes to keep up their levels of physical condition."
