'No Decision' on Mudryk Future After Chelsea Return: Alonso
Xabi Alonso said Chelsea will assess Mykhailo Mudryk’s reintegration and possible move options after the winger returned from a doping ban.
- On Tuesday, Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso said 'no decision' had been made on Mykhailo Mudryk's future after the Ukrainian winger won an appeal against a four-year doping ban.
- Mudryk's suspension followed a failed 2024 drug test, but he received clearance on Friday to resume his career after winning an appeal, having not played since November 2024.
- Assessing the winger's fitness, Alonso emphasized the need to be 'sensitive' about his return to the group dynamic, noting that 90 minutes against Juventus is likely too early.
- Separately, Alonso welcomed midfielder Jordan Henderson to Stamford Bridge after the 36-year-old signed from Premier League rivals Brentford on Monday, though he must assess Henderson's fitness following a recent arm injury.
- Chelsea concludes its pre-season tour following matches in Australia, including a 6-4 win over Western Sydney Wanderers, before facing Fulham at Craven Cottage on August 24.
