Mykhailo Mudryk could be back in the Chelsea squad as soon as Wednesday, with the winger reportedly in line to feature against Juventus in Hong Kong. The match would mark a significant moment for the Ukraine international after a long absence from action.
Mudryk has spent around 20 months on the sidelines after serving a ban, and his possible return is one of the main talking points ahead of Chelsea’s pre-season friendly. Even a place in the squad would represent an important step as he works his way back into first-team involvement.
For Chelsea, the game against Juventus offers another chance to build fitness and rhythm before the competitive season begins. It also gives the coaching staff an opportunity to assess where Mudryk stands after such an extended period away from the team.
While there is still uncertainty over how much he could play, the possibility of seeing Mudryk involved again adds extra attention to Chelsea’s meeting with Juventus. Supporters will now be waiting to see whether his comeback arrives in Hong Kong.
