There was a report from a Ukrainian journalist suggesting the failed test could have been the result of a stem cell injection.

It’s been claimed Chelsea are planning to file a lawsuit against Mudryk as they look to get compensation for his transfer.

Mudryk was last seen at the Conference League final in May, where he was spotted with Chelsea fans, and attended the victory party with the players afterwards.

Not much is known about how Mudryk is coping with the situation, but BBC Sport have reported his team are confident he’s doing everything he can from a fitness perspective to minimise any damage to his career.

The report also adds the Ukraine international is training with a private coach at private facilities as he’s banned for Chelsea’s training ground.
