Chelsea continue to struggle in Mykhaylo Mudryk’s absence as his provisional suspension for a doping violation remains unresolved, leaving both the player and club uncertain about his future.
Chelsea winger Mykhaylo Mudryk has been sidelined for nearly three months following a provisional doping suspension after an 'adverse finding' in a December drug test. With the results of his 'B' sample still undisclosed, the Ukrainian faces a potential four-year ban, though he maintains his innocence and is cooperating with investigations. Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has admitted he has no updates on the situation, while the club opted against signing a direct replacement in the January transfer window.
Since Mudryk’s suspension, Chelsea have won just two of their last nine Premier League matches, highlighting the impact of his absence. With limited attacking options, the Blues are struggling for form, and the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Mudryk’s case only adds to their woes.
