Coventry City 'Express Interest' in Chelsea Star Mykhailo Mudryk
- On Friday, Chelsea confirmed that Mykhailo Mudryk is eligible to play after the World Anti-Doping Agency and the Football Association resolved his doping suspension.
- The 25-year-old was charged with anti-doping rule violations in June last year after a 2024 sample tested positive for meldonium, which can increase respiratory capacity and stamina.
- Mudryk, signed from Shakhtar Donetsk in an £89 million deal in January 2023, has not played for Chelsea since November 2024, calling the failed drugs test a "complete shock."
- Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso is "very happy" for the winger, confirming he will join the squad in Hong Kong for their pre-season tour leg facing Juventus on Wednesday.
- Integrating the player will take time, Alonso noted, as he has been training alone for nearly two years; the team will assess his fitness before determining his game time.
