Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk expressed his shock after testing positive for a banned substance following a routine urine test. The club is collaborating with the Football Association (FA) to understand the circumstances surrounding the failed test. Mudryk, who claims he never knowingly used banned substances, has been absent from the team’s recent matches, with his last appearance on November 28. The FA has not confirmed his provisional suspension status. Mudryk joined Chelsea from Shakhtar Donetsk for up to £89 million in 2023, scoring 10 goals in 73 appearances.
