Mykhailo Mudryk has broken his silence after being notified about a positive drugs test.
On Tuesday it was reported that Mudryk had been informed by the Football Association and is provisionally suspended from football.
He has been unavailable to feature due to a suspected adverse analytical finding, with the Daily Mail reporting it is believed to be related to a contaminated supplement which is only available overseas.
Mudryk reacted to the news, protesting his innocence and explaining his team are working to further investigate the issue.
"I can confirm that I have been notified that a sample I provided to The FA contained a banned substance," Mudryk wrote 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."
