Chelsea boss spoke about Mudryk for the first time: “That’s what I want to do”

Head coach of London “Chelsea” Liam Rosenior answered a journalist’s question about his attitude to the winger of the Ukrainian national team Mykhailo Mudryk, who has been out of football since December 2024.

The reason is that the Ukrainian football player is accused of using prohibited substances. The last time Mudryk took the field was in the Conference League match against the German “Heidenheim” (November 28, 2024).

“No, I have not yet met the Wise Man or talked to him. It’s definitely something I want to do, but… There are a lot of things I plan to do at Chelsea, but I haven’t had time yet.

Mudryk is a great player. He had a really difficult time and when the moment is right for me, for him and for the club, I will definitely talk to him.

When he is in a position where I can have a positive impact on his career, we will discuss it with the board of directors and the sporting director,” admitted Liam.

Mudryk moved to the English Championship in January 2023 from Shakhtar Donetsk for 70 million euros. In the 2024/25 season, the Ukrainian winger played 15 matches in all competitions, in which he scored three goals and provided five assists.

🚨Rosenior says Mudryk is a “magnificent player” will speak to him “when it’s right and he’s in a place where I can have an impact, in a positive way, on his career”.
