Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi believes that his recent injury setback has made him a stronger player and person.
The winger went down with an Achilles injury that halted his progress with the first team.
But now that he is close to full fitness and off the back of signing a new contract, Hudson-Odoi believes it was a learning experience.
He said in an interview with the club's official website: "I was so happy with how things were going because I was getting opportunities and playing well.
"I was thinking to myself that nothing could go wrong but the injury happened out of nowhere and it put me down for a while, especially because we had big games coming up like the Europa League semi-final.
"Of course it was a blow but it made me mentally stronger and now I just can't wait to get back playing."
