Returns to team training Mudryk is back with Chelsea's squad in Hong Kong and will return to team training for the first time since December 2024, the club announced.

Impact Mudryk is hoping for clarity by mid-August on whether he'll remain with the first team, be loaned out, or sold, following the resolution of the doping case that had kept him out of competitive action since November 2024, with Chelsea wanting to assess his form and fitness during the remainder of the tour before working with him to determine the best path forward for all parties. His return to team training in Hong Kong marked the official start of his reintegration process, and Mudryk is expected to continue building up his fitness as his situation is resolved in the coming weeks.

This resolution brings that process to a close well ahead of the December 2028 date the full ban would have run through. He is now due to join Chelsea on their preseason tour in Hong Kong. Mudryk is expected to begin working toward match fitness as he looks to reintegrate with the squad.

Impact Mudryk has not played a competitive match since November 2024 after a routine test returned an adverse finding for meldonium, a substance he reportedly came into contact with while on Ukraine national team duty, resulting in a four year ban from the FA. His appeal to CAS was filed in February 2026 and remains ongoing, with the two parties still exchanging written submissions and no hearing yet scheduled. If the full ban stands, Mudryk would not be free to play again until December 2028, still leaving 30 months on his Chelsea contract, which runs through June 2031, though his social media tease suggests he may be optimistic about a more favorable outcome.

Chelsea's Mykhailo Mudryk Handed Four-Year Doping Ban; Appeals Decision

Handed further four-year ban Mudryk has been suspended for a further four years for his doping by the Court of Arbitration for Sports, according to Ben Jacobs of Talk Sport Live.

Impact Mudryk will not be seeing the field for a long time as he continues to battle his doping allegations, with the attacker now banned for four years. He is appealing the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sports, although this is likely to be another lengthy process, as it has been through the entire saga. If this ban sticks, a suspension until 2030 would take place, a long time off the field. If this does stick, his time with Chelsea can likely be scraped, either joining a new team once available again or potentially hanging up the boots after a long legal battle.

Chelsea outcast Mykhailo Mudryk trains at non-league club as $100m star's provisional doping ban continues

Could be set to return Mudryk could be set to return to the pitch after clearing his suspension, according to Topskills Sports UK.

Impact Mudryk is rumored to have cleared his suspension due to doping and could be set to return to team training with Chelsea before potentially moving to Strasbourg on loan, according to reports. The Ukrainian still has to build his fitness back, although he was spotted during his suspension working hard, with ambitions of becoming a sprinter for his country. That idea might now be behind him if the reports are true, and his situation will have to be monitored closely since he was one of the best young prospects in Europe before his suspension.

Could swap sports Mudryk could swap sports following his long-term suspension under the FA's Anti-Doping Regulations, as he has reportedly been training to become a sprinter and compete for Ukraine...

Impact Mudryk set speed records in the Premier League when he was clocked at 36.67 km/h in his first game with Chelsea and is reportedly considering a career change to become a sprinter and represent Ukraine at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. This switch comes into consideration because the forward was suspended under the FA's Anti-Doping Regulations in April 2025, forcing him to the sidelines since then. That said, the Ukrainian remains under contract with Chelsea for the time being, making his potential reconversion unusual.

Impact Mudryk has been suspended for the past season as he faced accusations of a failed urine test in December. However, a final verdict has come forth, with the attacker facing a further suspension after he was found guilty. He has stayed true to his claim of "never knowingly" taking any substances and even passed a polygraph, although this did not alter his results. He will now face up to a maximum of a four-year suspension, with the lower end being anywhere from two years to a month, depending on the ruling. The winger will likely continue to try to fight the ruling, but he probably won't be seeing the field with Chelsea for a while based on the recent update.

Passes polygraph Mudryk (suspension) has passed a polygraph test regarding the doping ban handed to him in November, according to Shakhtar CEO Sergei Palkin, per Ben Jacobs of Givemesport.

Impact Mudryk is seeing a positive update, although it is unknown if it will allow him to return any sooner, as he has passed a polygraph test questioning him if he had taken the banned substance or not. This comes after the attacker backs the same statement that he did not knowingly take anything, with the player still fighting to clear his name. We will now have to wait to see how this affects his ban, hoping his appeal can either lower it or eradicate the suspension, as if not, he could be banned for a while.

Set for suspension Mudryk has tested positive more meldonium and is set to serve a ban, according to Matt Lawton of The Times.

Impact Mudryk is facing some serious allegations, with the attacker now set to face a lengthy absence due to a positive drug test. He has so far denied taking anything to enhance his performance, as he is now waiting on a second test to confirm his first wasn't contaminated. Other athletes have previously been banned for around a year or two due to using this substance, so if he is appeal comes to no avail, his absence could be long term.
