With the football world currently on hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic, good news is hard to come by. However, on Friday, Frank Lampard delivered an update that will put a smile on all of our faces.

After confirming that he had tested positive for Covid-19 back on 13 March, Lampard confirmed that Callum Hudson-Odoi has made a full recovery.

“I’ve spoken to Callum and it’s great that he’s fully recovered,” Lampard said in a video message on Chelsea’s social media outlets.

“I spoke to him throughout that first week when he first got the illness and it was a strange time. Thankfully he didn’t suffer too much and we are happy he’s come through this.

“Now it’s just about taking the necessary precautions with the rest of the squad, which we have been doing since he first tested positive and everyone is doing well in the current climate.

“It’s a difficult and strange time for everyone and no matter how much we all love football and all love Chelsea, sometimes other things have to come first.

“This is one of those situations and my message to the players throughout this has been to put your family first. Look after them, and yourself, and keep the motivation that way.

“I have no concerns with the players losing motivation and I know they will be doing the basics right at home in terms of their fitness and looking after themselves in these times.”

Hudson-Odoi can now begin a fitness regimen back home while the Premier League continues to be on hold.
