Mykhailo Mudryk could return to competitive action for Chelsea on Wednesday after being named in the squad for a friendly against Juventus in Hong Kong. The Ukraine international has been sidelined for 20 months following a drugs suspension.
Mudryk’s inclusion gives him the possibility of making his first appearance for Chelsea since his extended absence. However, being selected in the squad does not guarantee that he will play against Juventus.
The fixture offers Chelsea a chance to assess Mudryk’s readiness as he works toward a return. His potential involvement will be closely watched after such a lengthy period away from football.
