Mykhailo Mudryk’s immediate future still remains a bit of a mystery at Chelsea, though Fabrizio Romano has provided us with a little bit of an update.
Mykhailo Mudryk has largely vanished from the first-team picture under Liam Rosenior.
While Chelsea continues to navigate a turbulent run of form, Mudryk is facing a period of suspension that has left his Stamford Bridge career in a state of total limbo.
It could all depend on the upcoming verdict from his legal team, with Mudryk currently unable to feature for the Blues while the situation remains active.
To date, Mudryk has missed a staggering 68 competitive matches for Chelsea across all competitions.

Fabrizio Romano issues Mykhailo Mudryk update
Fabrizio Romano (via CFCPys) has spoken on the Mudryk situation, but it still doesn’t give a definitive timeline.
New images and video surfaced on Mudryk’s Instagram showing him training alone at Uxbridge FC once again after renting it out to stay sharp.
Romano stated, “Mudryk is staying fit ahead of a verdict with lawyers working on the case. He is still under contract at Chelsea until 2031.”
He’s still awaiting an update on his doping ban, but he obviously feels as if it may not be too far away, with the winger keeping up his fitness ahead of a potential return.
Do you think Chelsea should sack Liam Rosenior? Or are you willing to give him more time?🤔

Mykhailo Mudryk’s future at Chelsea
The chances of Mykhailo Mudryk reviving his Chelsea career hinge on the update.
Before the doping allegations surfaced, Mudryk had already struggled to displace the players operating in his position, so a loan move is the most likely outcome.
There has been talk that Mudryk could make his way to Strasbourg if he does return, and that may not be such a bad idea. It provides him the opportunity to get regular football in a system that won’t be too different to Chelsea’s, with the potential to work his way back into the plans.
On the flip side, he could have his contract terminated if the update isn’t what Chelsea want to hear.
