Mudryk Cleared for Chelsea's Hong Kong Tour by Alonso
Mykhailo Mudryk has been cleared by anti-doping authorities to rejoin Chelsea's first-team squad for their pre-season tour in Hong Kong. Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso announced this development, noting that Mudryk had not played since November due to anti-doping charges brought by the Football Association with input from the World Anti-Doping Agency.
The case has now concluded, allowing the 25-year-old Ukraine winger to resume his professional career. Alonso acknowledged the challenges Mudryk faced during his time in isolation and stated that it is "unrealistic" to expect an immediate return to form.
He emphasized the importance of Mudryk feeling part of the team again and mentioned that the club's supporters are also supportive of him. Mudryk joined Chelsea from Shakhtar Donetsk in January 2023 and had scored ten goals in 73 appearances before his suspension.
