However, Mudryk was unable to adapt to the pace of Premier League. He was not looking as the same player. Mudryk has so far played 73 games for Chelsea and has been able to register only 10 goals and 8 assists. In addition, he is now facing a more serious problem.
Mudryk is accused of using baned substances and hence is not eligible to play. But, he has denied the charges and can return to football soon if he is not found guilty. However, Mudryk can depart the West London club in summer with German giants showing interest.
