Last week, Chelsea lodged a formal complaint with UEFA over racist abuse aimed at 18-year-old Hudson-Odoi during the closing stages of the 5-0 Europa League win away to Dynamo Kiev on March 14.
Chelsea hold the highest regard for player welfare, and it is understood Hudson-Odoi will be offered a wide range of options for additional support if he feels it is needed.
