Chelsea star Callum Hudson-Odoi revealed he had never played wing-back before being asked to by new Blues boss Thomas Tuchel on Wednesday evening.

The 20-year-old, who ordinarily occupies a more attacking role, was told to play as part of a back five in the German’s first game in charge – which ended in a goalless draw with Wolves at Stamford Bridge.

He told the Chelsea website: “It was something new for me.

“It was my first time trying it yesterday [in training] and I felt alright playing in it, it wasn’t a problem for me.

“It was good trying to play that position and no matter where the manager asks me to play I will try to do my best.

“He wants me to be as direct and to keep getting at full-backs and defenders as much as possible.”
