Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi was delighted to make his return to action against Club America.

The Blues came from behind to win 2-1 in Las Vegas, with Mason Mount scoring a stunning winner.

Hudson-Odoi, who missed most of last season through injury, played 45 minutes in a wide attacking role.

"It's really good to be back out there, especially having been out for four months or so," Hudson-Odoi said post-match.

"Coming back in to play a game is really good and I'm just buzzing to be out on the pitch again. I thought the boys did well, it was a good result to start pre-season and we need to keep pushing from here. The hard work starts here and now we look forward to the next game.

"I feel really strong. It takes a while to get back into the swing of things after a long spell out but I felt good out there and hopefully we can keep building from here as a team.

"They were a strong, physical side but we expected that. We sort of knew that coming into the game and they made things difficult for us, but we prepared well and it was a good workout for us.

"It was good for everyone to get 45 minutes and that's what we all need right now. It's a step in the right direction in terms of fitness and hopefully we can build on this now."
