If it wasn’t already clear that Mykhailo Mudryk was unlikely to have a role with Chelsea next season then the FA’s decision to charge him with breaching doping rules certainly shows the sort of uphill battle he has. Mudryk has not played since November and remains provisionally suspended from all footballing activities.On Wednesday, the FA issued an official statement regarding the winger afte
r months of silence. “We can confirm that Mykhailo Mudryk has been charged with Anti-Doping Rule Violations alleging the presence and/or use of a prohibited substance, in terms of Regulations 3 and 4 of The FA’s Anti-Doping Regulations,” a spokesperson said. “As this is an ongoing case, we are not in a position to comment further at this timeMudryk is still awaiting the outcome of his B-sample being tested, which was submitted late last year. In the meantime, he has seen his career stall.Chelsea have moved on without him, finishing fourth in the Premier League and winning the Conference League. The starting XI that Mudryk last played with includes seven (other than himself) who are not expected to be at Chelsea come the end of this summer.Axel Disasi, Renato Veiga, and Christopher Nkunku are all free to leave. Marc Guiu could go out on loan, Jadon Sancho has already departed after failing to agree a contract to make his loan from Manchester United permanent, and Cesare Casadei was sold in January
