Bayern Munich are still eyeing Callum Hudson-Odoi despite his recent injury.
The Chelsea winger suffered a ruptured achilles tendon as Maurizio Sarri's side slumped to a 2-2 draw against Burnley on Monday evening and has since had surgery.
Hudson-Odoi, who made his England senior debut last month, will be out for the rest of the season and miss the Nations League finals in June. He could also struggle to recover in time for the start of next season.
Bayern chased the 18-year-old in the January transfer window, having a series of big money bids rejected, and they were expected to go back in for him in the summer.
Chelsea are keen to sign him to a new contract, although Sportsmail understand Hudson-Odoi will not jump to pen a deal as a result of his injury.
And Bayern president Uli Hoeness has admitted they are still interested in him despite the injury issues.
'Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and Hasan Salihamidzic have said that he is an interesting player,' Hoeness said on Wednesday after Bayern beat Werder Bremen in the German Cup.
'I think we keep thinking about it. But he's just on the operating table. Therefore it makes no sense to comment on this.'
Hudson-Odoi will not be able to contribute as Chelsea chase a top four finish over the rest of the season. They are currently fourth with three games left.

Kepa doesn’t respect his manager 😂 Hudson still hasn’t renewed his contract 😂 Hudson has already confirmed to join at Bayern this or next saison free of charge 🤪 Hazard will join to Madrid 😂 Chelsea has spent 1.1 billion euros over the past decade 😂 Chelsea has sold the soul to a hobby investor 😂 Please don’t compare Bayern with Chelsea... Bayern is the biggest football family with most members in the world 🌎 Bavaria has the best economy without any investors 💰 Bayern will never sell their history and traditional ... Please don’t speak about more celebration.... 🤫 I can give you much more examples how football works and why clubs like Bayern are a role model for everyone.

As much as this is an unethical approach, Buyer FC thinks they are dealing with a lesser bundesliga team who they can pressure to submit. F off nobody wants a piece of that boring league

He is our future and he( Odoi) himself is aware of that. He knows we are in time of trouble am sure he will never turn his back on us. He just wants to play and now he's playing. We all love him and wish him speed recovery next season he will be back stronger and better.
