Mykhailo Mudryk has urged Chelsea fans 'don't give up on me' as the suspended star hinted at a return, as he awaits a verdict in his doping case.
The 24-year-old - who joined the Blues in a £88m deal in January 2023 - has not featured since a Europa Conference League match on November 28 in 2024.
Mudryk was provisionally suspended that December following a positive test for a banned substance, with the Ukrainian officially charged in June 2025.
Reports in Ukraine that the substance is meldonium are understood by Daily Mail Sport to be correct.
