ForestAssists 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.
Analysis: 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.
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.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: Hudson-Odoi underwent a late test to see whether he would've been available, and he's fit enough to start right away. The speedy winger has two goals and one assist in his last eight EPL outings, but he hasn't contributed to a goal in the league since mid-December.
Late test to face Leeds
Hudson-Odoi (shoulder) is questionnable for Friday's match against Leeds United and will need to undergo tests to determine his availability, said coach Sean Dyche in press the conference, according to The Nottingham Post. "Callum has got a knock on his shoulder. He landed on it awkwardly. We have had it checked and there's nothing too serious but it is a painful one. We will have to make a decision on that in the next 36 hours in preparation for the game. We will know more about that."
Analysis: 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.
Suffers shoulder injury
Hudson-Odoi was forced off at halftime during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace due to a shoulder injury, coach Sean Dyche said in a press conference, according to the Nottingham Post. "He has hurt his shoulder so we will have to get that scanned as well. A few different people got knocks today. Part of it was my decision tactically, so I was going to remove him because of that, but he has hurt his shoulder as well so it was a double whammy. Hopefully it is nothing too serious but we will probably find out more tomorrow."
Analysis: 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. Dilane Bakwa or Ryan Yates who replaced him at the break and could be in line for an expanded roles if Hudson-Odoi is forced to miss time during his recovery.
Inefficient crossing
Hudson-Odoi had one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Arsenal.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: Hudson-Odoi was a late call for Tuesday but is in the call after some testing, not just an option but starting immediately. This gives the attacker his sixth straight start when an option, looking to add to his three goals and one assist this season.
Late call to face West Ham
Hudson-Odoi (achilles) is a late call for Tuesday's match against West Ham, according to manager Sean Dyche, per Sarah Clapson of the Nottingham Post. "We'll have to wait and see. He didn't make Saturday, quite obviously, and he couldn't make it on the bench so we'll have to wait and see. It was a sore Achilles."
Analysis: Hudson-Odoi was a late scratch from Saturday's match and is going to need some testing to play Tuesday, with the attacker a late call for the contest. This will come with some testing ahead of the game, hoping he can play after five straight starts ahead of the absence. He has started in 10 of his 18 appearances this season while scoring three goals and one assist, with Dilane Bakwa as a possible replacement on the left side of the field.
Late scratch for Aston Villa tilt
Hudson-Odoi isn't part of the squad to face Aston Villa on Saturday.
Analysis: Hudson-Odoi is unexpectedly missing and will need to be assessed ahead of Tuesday's away game against West Ham. Dilane Bakwa and Omari Hutchinson are getting the nod wide while James McAtee and Arnaud Kalimuendo are on the bench.
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.
Analysis: 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.
Fully fit
Hudson-Odoi is fully fit for Thursday's clash with Malmo, he announced."Yeah I'm feeling much better. I just had a knock, but I'm feeling good and ready to go."
Analysis: Hudson-Odoi was a doubt before a 3-0 win over Liverpool, and then ended up on the bench for that match. He seemingly only had a knock, so should be fully fit and ready to go Thursday. Hudson-Odoi had started three matches in a row prior to the injury.
On bench against Liverpool
Hudson-Odoi (leg) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Liverpool.
Analysis: Hudson-Odoi was pictured in training earlier in the week after recovering from a leg injury and be deemed fit enough to return on the bench against Liverpool on Saturday. The attacking midfielder will likely be eased back into action before finding back his starting role for Forest.
Could be available Saturday
Hudson-Odoi (leg) could be available against Liverpool on Saturday, manager Sean Dyche told media during Thursday's pre-match press conference. "Callum is (the only one with a chance of playing on Saturday) at the moment. He is around it. If today and tomorrow go well and he feels OK, at least we can think about him being back in the fold. That will be a positive."
Analysis: Hudson-Odoi was pictured in training earlier in the week, and Dyche's words show that the winger is trending in the right direction toward a potential return to the side over the weekend. Hudson-Odoi has missed Nottingham's last two matches, one in the Europa League and one in the Premier League.
Pictured in training
Hudson-Odoi (leg) was pictured in training during Wednesday's session, ahead of Saturday's clash with Liverpool.
Analysis: Hudson-Odoi was pictured in training Wednesday as he works back from a leg injury. This is the same issue that ruled him out against Leeds prior to the international break. He was always expected to return after the break and a return to full training prior to Saturday's clash is a good sign for his recovery. Hudson-Odoi had started three matches in a row before the injury.
Won't play Sunday
Hudson-Odoi (leg) is out for Sunday's match against Leeds United due to injury, according to manager Sean Dyche, per Sarah Clapson of the Nottingham Post. "I think it's improbable [he plays], unfortunately. Maybe after that. Maybe after the Leeds game, there's a stronger chance."
Analysis: Hudson-Odoi is not yet an option from his leg injury and is sidelined for yet another match despite being expected to return Sunday, with the forward now waiting until after the international break. This is a rough loss for the club, as he started in three straight games before the injury. A return after the break is likely, hoping to return to a starting spot when fit again.
Could be available Sunday
Hudson-Odoi suffered a dead leg late in Saturday's clash against Manchester United which will make him miss Thursday's clash against Sturm Graz in the Europa League, but he could be back available for Sunday's game against Leeds United, coach Sean Dyche said in the press conference, according to the Nottingham Post. "Callum is hopefully going to be slightly easier. He won't be for this game, but we will see how it goes for the weekend."
Analysis: Hudson-Odoi is ruled out for the midweek game against Sturm Graz in the Europa League after suffering a dead leg late in Saturday's clash against the Red Devils. The forward will be assessed in the coming days but could be back available for Sunday's clash against Leeds United. That said, if he ultimately cannot make the squad, Omari Hutchinson would be expected to see an increased role for that game.
Slow start
Hudson-Odoi has one goal in seven appearances (four starts) in the Premier League.
Analysis: Hudson-Odoi is off to a slow start in his third season with Nottingham Forest, with just one goal to open the season. The forward has been rotated more in previous weeks, with only two starts in the last five matches. If he's no longer a guaranteed starter Hudson-Odoi will have significantly limited upside, though he's still created more than two chances per start.
Inks extension
Hudson-Odoi has signed a new contract with Nottingham Forest, according to his club.
Analysis: Hudson-Odoi has reinforced his stance with Nottingham Sunday, as the attacker has signed a new deal that runs through the 2027/28 season. He is a regular starter who should only continue in this spot after the extension, bagging five goals and two assists in 31 appearances (25 starts) last campaign.
Scores equalizer in 1-1 draw
Hudson-Odoi scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and three crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Hudson-Odoi scored his first goal of the season to help his side come from behind against Crystal Palace to draw 1-1. In both games this season, he has had one shot on target, and in this game, he also had another shot, which was off target. He attempted three crosses to bring him to eight for the season.
