Luke Shaw became the fourth player to drop out of the England squad meaning Hudson-Odoi was brought in at the last minute.The 18-year-old was in Bristol with the Under-21s and had to head straight to St Geroges Park to join Southgates squad ahead of their Euro 2020 qualifiers against the Czech Republic and Montenegro.Hudson-Odoi was part of the side that won the Under-17 World Cup in 2017 and the Chelsea winger has since been the subject of sustained interest from Bayern Munich.2

He has yet to start a Premier League match for Chelsea, but Southgate has seen enough to give him the opportunity at senior international level.“It’s been a crazy day but getting my first (senior) international call-up is an amazing feeling,” the 18-year-old said.“Today has been a very long day for me because I had to travel to Bristol first for the U21s and then getting told that I have to come over here to St George’s Park.“It’s been a crazy experience but I’m delighted to get the call and it’s a nice feeling to be here as well.“I thought the manager was joking. I was shocked and then when I heard that I actually had to go over, I couldn’t believe it. I was delighted.

“It’s a dream come true. Now I’ve got to work hard, enjoy every moment and keep working to just hopefully make an impact when I get the opportunity.“Everybody here is very humble and they’re very nice. They make sure you’re comfortable, no one has an ego here so hopefully I get to know more of the boys here.” Hudson-Odoi was the second new addition to the squad after in-form Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse linked up with the Three Lions earlier in the day.There was some surprise about his omission from the 25-man squad named last week and Southgate had no hesitation in turning to his former under-21 captain after Fabian Delph, John Stones and Ruben Loftus-Cheek pulled out of the squad.
