Mudryk breaks silence on FA suspension as Chelsea star faces lengthy ban

Chelsea forward Mykhailo Mudryk says he is in 'complete shock' after being provisionally suspended by the Football Association (FA) after being notified of a positive drug test.

"I can confirm that I have been notified that a sample I provided to The FA contained a banned substance," he wrote in a post on Instagram.

"This has come as a complete shock as I have never knowingly used any banned substances or broken any rules, and am working closely with my team to investigate how this could have happened.

"I know that I have not done anything wrong and remain hopeful that I will be back on the pitch soon. I cannot say any more now due to the confidentiality of the process, but I will as soon as I can."
