Mykhailo Mudryk returned to action after two years, having been partially exonerated following the investigation into his positive doping test back in late 2024.
The Ukrainian winger for Chelsea made sure to stay in top shape throughout this time with individual training sessions, and immediately after his exoneration, he traveled to Hong – Kong to join Chabi Alonso’s team for this year’s preseason training.
The moment he entered the match against Juventus as a substitute, the entire bench gave him a standing ovation to cheer him on and show their support.
