Mudryk wins the right to play for Chelsea

Chelsea striker Mykhailo Mudryk has been cleared to return to playing for the team after his doping ban was resolved, Sky Sports reports.

The 25-year-old has not played a competitive match since November 2024, after being handed a four-year ban by the English Football Association for doping.

But the ban on the Ukrainian international has been lifted after the anti-doping disciplinary proceedings against him were resolved.

Chelsea has issued a statement, saying that the footballer has always denied knowingly using a banned substance. 

Chelsea signed Mudryk from Shakhtar Donetsk for a total of £88 million in January 2023.
