Chelsea's Callum Hudson-Odoi arrested after model makes rape allegations amid lockdown

Chelsea's Callum Hudson-Odoi was one of the first players to test positive for COVID-19 in the Premier League. However, the youngster followed strict protocol and succeeded in beating the virus over the course of March and April. The Chelsea winger was training in self-isolation ahead of potential Premier League return in the first week of June. Now, it appears things did not go as planned for Hudson-Odoi since his tussle with coronavirus as he was reportedly arrested on Sunday morning on allegations of rape.

Earlier this week, Callum Hudson-Odoi gave a fitness update on his condition as Premier League clubs returned to the training ground. The young forward was quoted as saying, "Everyone has been asking me how I have been which has been class from them. They have been showing me support and saying 'Cal, get well soon, I hope you are okay now'. It has been very warming and a good feeling to know you have got your team-mates behind you, backing you and making sure you are feeling well and encouraging you."
