Hopefully the rumours are true and he comes back, we really do need him for depth. Unfortunately he has just fell victim to my avatar jinx, over the past few years I've had:

Jorginho - sold to Arsenal

Murdyk - positive drug test

Nkunku - stockpiling balloons because he can't get a shot on target

From a week ago:

Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk has responded to his situation with an emotional statement, revealing the deep personal struggles he has endured. 

"I have lost 5 family members in the fight since the invasion of Ukraine. Now the only thing that makes me happy has been taken away from me.

"What do I have left? It's really difficult to be in this situation, I have said that I'm innocent and still stand by it. I urge everyone to be calm, the truth must surely come out one day and thank you all for messages," Mudryk has shared.

Not sure if there is a spelling mistake in there somewhere

I don't buy Chelsea tops anymore. The last one I had was (Winston) Bogarde

I second that @timetowaste

Game changer if he’s back, title push starts now

I was absolutely wrong about Mudryk. I used to go mad at him when he would continually cut inside into blind alleys.

Turns out he was the only player back then who was already playing the way Maresca wanted.

Now the system is properly embedded into the squad all our wingers are doing it.

We were so close to greatness

Once Mudryk and Jackson are back it's possible we can still pip Liverpool. It will be raining goals.

What’s the latest with Misha?

Banned. Doesn’t take this long to test a B sample and considering he still isn’t in the squad is telling.

I figured that was the case as nothing has been said. How are they keeping this from hitting the back pages?

More like Lawfare.... It's what super wealthy do... Having said that, direct payments to journalists, editors, or media organisations can work... perhaps all together. But super injunctions do work.

What are to odds he comes back ready to play?

I think it’s all wrapped up in lawyers and secrecy/appeals. I did read that the FA have a duty to report any failed drug tests so I’m not sure what the delay is

‼️ As of today, the FA have not charged him [Mykhailo Mudryk] and he is still only provisionally suspended.

It is odd how quiet it has been. We need answers at this point, what's with all the secrecy?

Probably because they want to make sure this doesnt go to litigation.

Here’s how I see it:

• His B sample was also negative.

• Club not disclosing the results until they do their due diligence to investigate how it got into his system.

Once they finish, they disclose the results & either suspend Mudryk with a dock in pay or they terminate his contract.

Never one for a conspiracy, but what if Ukraine sabotaged it as they are still owed 2.5 billion that Roman kindly said they can have!

What’s taking so long?!!

Chelsea are still waiting a result of Mudryk’s B sample. (@liam_twomey @SJohnsonSport)
