ChelseaHanded further four-year ban
Mudryk has been suspended for a further four years for his doping by the Court of Arbitration for Sports, according to Ben Jacobs of Talk Sport Live.
Analysis: Mudryk will not be seeing the field for a long time as he continues to battle his doping allegations, with the attacker now banned for four years. He is appealing the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sports, although this is likely to be another lengthy process, as it has been through the entire saga. If this ban sticks, a suspension until 2030 would take place, a long time off the field. If this does stick, his time with Chelsea can likely be scraped, either joining a new team once available again or potentially hanging up the boots after a long legal battle.
Could be set to return
Mudryk could be set to return to the pitch after clearing his suspension, according to Topskills Sports UK.
Analysis: Mudryk is rumored to have cleared his suspension due to doping and could be set to return to team training with Chelsea before potentially moving to Strasbourg on loan, according to reports. The Ukrainian still has to build his fitness back, although he was spotted during his suspension working hard, with ambitions of becoming a sprinter for his country. That idea might now be behind him if the reports are true, and his situation will have to be monitored closely since he was one of the best young prospects in Europe before his suspension.
Could swap sports
Mudryk could swap sports following his long-term suspension under the FA's Anti-Doping Regulations, as he has reportedly been training to become a sprinter and compete for Ukraine at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games, according to Marca.
Analysis: Mudryk set speed records in the Premier League when he was clocked at 36.67 km/h in his first game with Chelsea and is reportedly considering a career change to become a sprinter and represent Ukraine at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. This switch comes into consideration because the forward was suspended under the FA's Anti-Doping Regulations in April 2025, forcing him to the sidelines since then. That said, the Ukrainian remains under contract with Chelsea for the time being, making his potential reconversion unusual.
