Callum Hudson-Odoi - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Struggling for playing time Hudson-Odoi has played just one minute in the Premier League this season, while featuring for 30 minutes in the Carabao Cup.

Impact Hudson-Odoi has been limited to a reserve role, with Dan Ndoye ahead of him in the pecking order. His natural position as a winger also does not provide an ideal fit in coach Oliver Glasner's preferred 3-4-2-1 formation, further limiting his path to regular minutes. Hudson-Odoi should remain an option for rotation and attacking depth, but his limited involvement suggests starts could remain difficult to come by.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Active Saturday Hudson-Odoi (quadriceps) reappeared in a friendly game against Udinese on Saturday.

Impact Hudson-Odoi returned to the field after being inactive since mid-April, strengthening his team's offense as they prepare for the 2026/27 period. He'll now join the contention for wide attacking spots with Omari Hutchinson and Dan Ndoye and could push for occasional set pieces if given a significant role. However, Hudson-Odoi has just logged his first minutes of pre-season play and could still see some rotation before establishing himself as a starter.

Set to step up recovery Hudson-Odoi is expected to step up his recovery and could be partly integrated into training as soon as Monday, according to coach Oliver Glasner, per Nottingham Post. "We think Ca...

Impact Hudson-Odoi underwent surgery for a thigh injury that ended his 2025-26 season early, and manager Oliver Glasner noted he is progressing quicker than teammates Murillo and Savona, who are also working through their own rehabilitation. The coach stressed the club will monitor his reaction carefully given the recent surgery before fully reintegrating him. Hudson-Odoi is expected to continue building toward full training in the coming days as Nottingham Forest's preseason progresses.

JULY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Present for start of preseason Hudson-Odoi (quadriceps) is present for the start of preseason training as Nottingham Forest began preparations under new coach Oliver Glasner, the club announced.

Impact Hudson-Odoi underwent quadriceps surgery that had been expected to keep him out until this summer's preseason, and his involvement now suggests that timeline has held. He closed out last season with three goals and four assists across 30 appearances, including 21 starts, before the injury ended his campaign. His return marks a positive step, though how he responds physically after the surgery remains a key question for a player who is a central figure when at his best. Hudson-Odoi is expected to continue building toward full fitness as preseason progresses under manager Oliver Glasner.

Nottingham Forest loses Callum Hudson-Odoi for rest of season after surgery

Nottingham Forest winger Callum Hudson-Odoi will miss the remainder of the season after having surgery Tuesday on his right quadriceps muscle

APRIL 21 • Associated Press

Receives surgery Hudson-Odoi (hamstring) has undergone surgery as the end of his season is confirmed, according to his club.

Impact Hudson-Odoi was already known to be out for the remainder of the season, but that has been further confirmed Tuesday, as the attacker will now undergo surgery on the injury. This will hopefully heal him of the problems as they head into the 2026/27 season, set to return once pre-season training starts. The major question is if this will be an injury he can come back from the same, as he is a key piece of the team when at their best, notching three goals and four assists in 30 appearances (21 starts) this season.

APRIL 21 • ROTOWIRE

Done for season Hudson-Odoi (hamstring) is out for the remainder of the season, according to Paul Taylor of The Athletic.

Impact Hudson-Odoi was feared to be missing the rest of the season, and that is now in place, as the attacker has been ruled out for the final five games. This is an unfortunate end to a solid season for him, as he bagged three goals and four assists in 30 appearances (21 starts), continuing to be one of their top attacking options. With the club not completely out of the relegation battle yet, they will need all hands on deck to make up the space left by Hudson-Odoi, with Dilane Bakwa, Dan Ndoye and Omari Hutchinson likely to earn even more time.

Could miss rest of season Hudson-Odoi is set for scans to determine if he can return this season, according to manager Vitor Pereira, per Jak Netting of Vavel. "It's a serious injury. It's very bad news fo...

Impact Hudson-Odoi was feared of a muscle injury, and with the injury now deemed "serious," he is set for scans to determine if he can return again this season. It will be up to scans in the coming days, hopefully ending up on the better side of the injury. It will determine if he can play again this season, which would be an unfortunate way to end the season, just one short of tying a career high for goal contributions in a season.

Impact Hudson-Odoi is now dealing with an issue that could force him to miss the weekend's matchup versus Burnley, which would mark his first league absence since Jan. 3. The attacker is one of the team's most talented playmakers, so his loss could impact their ability to generate offensive play. Dan Ndoye and Omari Hutchinson will be in line to start on the wings if Hudson-Odoi is ruled out.

APRIL 16 • ROTOWIRE

Provides assist for equalizer Hudson-Odoi assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (one accurate) and five chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Aston Villa.

Impact Hudson-Odoi picked up the assist on Neco Williams' 38th minute equalizer, bringing down Ola Aina's cross before slipping a perfectly weighted pass into Williams, who drilled a low finish inside the near post to pull Forest level. He was one of Forest's most dangerous attacking outlets over the full 90 minutes, ending the match with one assist, two shots and five chances created, matching his season high. Hudson-Odoi is in solid form right now, racking up three assists across his last four Premier League appearances for Forest.

APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE

Assists on two chances Hudson-Odoi assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 3-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Hudson-Odoi created a pair of chances and was rewarded with an assist during Sunday's rout. The attacker didn't put any shots on goal but he was a good playmaker throughout the match. He was solid with the chances he created and could have had a second assist with better finishing from his strikers.

MARCH 23 • ROTOWIRE

Assist Wednesday Hudson-Odoi assisted once to go with two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Wednesday's 2-2 draw versus Manchester City.

Impact Hudson-Odoi would be lucky enough to be credited with an assist after finding Elliot Anderson for a goal, even though the thunderous strike was not so much set up by the pass. Hudson-Odoi earns his second goal contribution in their past three games, a good sign after he went almost two months without one previously. He's up to three goals and two assists in 27 league appearances (18 starts) this season.

Starting vs. Leeds United Hudson-Odoi (shoulder) is starting against Leeds United on Friday.

Impact Hudson-Odoi is questionable for Friday's clash against Leeds United after picking up a knock to his shoulder last weekend against Crystal Palace. He will undergo a late fitness test following the final training session to determine his availability. The forward is an undisputed starter, having started the last eight matches he was available for while scoring two goals and providing one assist during that span. Dilane Bakwa and Ryan Yates are possible options to replace him if he is ruled out.

Impact Hudson-Odoi was unable to come out for the second half of Sunday's draw against the Eagles after picking up a shoulder injury in the opening period. The forward is set to undergo scans in the coming days and will be hoping the issue proves to be minor, as he has remained a regular fixture in Forest's frontline, starting half of the club's matches since the beginning of the year. Ryan Yates replaced him at the break and could be in line for an expanded role if Hudson-Odoi is forced to miss time during his recovery.

FEBRUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Impact The forward struggled to get much going in service, with only one of his six crosses being considered accurate. He'll need to be better for Nottingham Forest to score in UEL play on Thursday against SC Braga. Braga has only given up five goals in six UEL games.

Starting Wednesday Hudson-Odoi (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Tuesday's match against West Ham.

Man City player ratings vs Nottingham Forest: Rayan Cherki does it again as Frenchman rescues vital victory for Pep Guardiola's side with late winning strike and assist

Two goals and an assist Hudson-Odoi scored two goals and assisted once from three shots and two chances created in Sunday's 3-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Hudson-Odoi had perhaps the best game of his career Sunday as he was directly involved in all three of his side's goals in his first start since Nov. 1. He opened up the scoring in the 28th minute and then secured his brace in the 50th minute, both assisted by Ibrahim Sangare. He then returned the favor to Sangare, assisting his excellent goal in the 79th minute. The three goal contributions marked his first since Aug. 24, so this was truly a performance that came out of nowhere. He will look to build off this performance next Monday at Fulham, but another performance like this should not be expected.
