Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi is targeting a place in England's squad for EURO 2020 as he makes huge progress after testing positive for COVID-19.
The 19-year-old became the first Premier League player to test positive for the virus last month.
But after a period of self-isolation, the youngster feels back to normal and is already targeting earning a place in England's squad for the EURO 2020- which has been pushed forward to 2021.
“I am feeling perfect,” he told the club’s official website. “I had the virus which has cleared now. I feel good, feel fit, and back to my normal self.
“I had it [the illness] three weeks ago now, on a Monday when I felt a bit hot and I was thinking this is a bit unusual, ‘why do I feel this hot?’.
“I thought it was just a temperature thing, but obviously it wasn’t. I was lucky to have minor symptoms and support from those around me.”
He added: “For me it’s an opportunity to prove myself again, keep pushing and hopefully have an opportunity to go,” he added.
“I just want to make sure that I keep pushing myself every game, making sure that I keep trying to score goals and make assists.”
"Everything is happening so fast and I did not know this virus would be such a major thing and so big in the world and affect so many people," he said.
"Everyone has to be careful and judge things how they go and hopefully the virus will go soon and everyone will be back to normal.
"I want the football to come back as soon as possible, I'd want it to come back today if it could but this thing (pandemic) is growing and it is going to keep growing so the thing is we want everyone to stay safe and stay well.
"We want to be out there playing football and we want to enjoy what we are doing and we want the fans to be enjoying everything with us."
"For me it is an opportunity to show again and keep pushing myself to the max to hopefully have an opportunity to go to the Euros," he said.
