They casually talk about their day as Hudson-Odoi, wearing boots on the concrete ground, manages to keep the ball up with ease.
As the winger starts to make his way down the training ground he is met with some uncomfortable moments, but regains his composure to get the ball under control.
Hudson-Odoi works his way inside one of the Cobham entrance areas inside, and completes his amazing 398 keepy-up run.
The England international is known for his training ground performances.
Ex-Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas revealed in a Twitter Q&A he was immediately taken back by the teenager’s ability when he joined them in first-team training.
Fabregas said: "The first time he came to train with us I knew he was different, his finishing and pace were something else for his age.
“He has a long way to go and just came back from a terrible injury. With time and good attitude he can become a terrific player.”
The winger only returned from an Achilles injury in September and has had to endure time on the bench as a result.
But he shined in the Blues 2-0 FA Cup win against Nottingham Forest as he opened the scoring and linked well with full-back Reece James throughout.
Boss Frank Lampard said: “It’s been an interesting twelve months for him considering how young he is, when you take that into account.
“Last year everyone was talking about him for different reasons. He then got a terrible injury, he came back very early and when he did come back there were issues getting him tip top.
“When you are a player of speed and sharpness that’s your one of your main weapons. When you have had an injury that severe that weapon is held back.
“There is a lot of strength work he needs to do, generally because he is young but also because of the injury.
“So there’s more to come from him. It was a nice step forward for him today. Next time it will be ‘can you do more? Can you do this, can you do that?”
