English-Ghanaian forward, Callum Hudson-Odoi has disclosed that he had a difficult time dealing with his injury at Chelsea last season.
In most parts of the second round of the 2021/22 football season, the talented winger had to watch his teammates play whiles he focused on recovering from a frustrating injury.
Speaking in an interview in the ongoing pre-season of Chelsea, Hudson-Odoi says what he suffered was a weird injury.
"It was a weird one. It was a neurological thing where I had a tweaked nerve in my back and it stemmed all the way down through my body, so it then became difficult for me to retain muscle. There was no power really in my legs and everything was like 'woah'. I was trying to pass the ball 10 yards but I had no power and I couldn't even do it.
"I think it was also a post-coronavirus thing from December, which I couldn't believe because it had been such a long time before,” the Ghana target explained in an interview.
Hudson-Odoi added, "The issue started with my Achilles and then I was trying to use other parts of my body to make up for it, so for example when I was running I wasn't running on my toes as much because my Achilles power wasn't that strong.
"I was trying to find another way to run and then it started affecting my back but all of it is good now. My Achilles is strong again and my back is strong so everything is perfect. It's one of those things but I'm glad to be back and to have all my power, strength and speed back is all that I can wish for.”
Fortunately, the Ghanaian international is fully fit now. He is having pre-season with Chelsea and looking forward to playing a key role for the Blues next season.
