In a mysterious message to Chelsea, injured Mykhailo Mudryk gives Tottenham and Blackburn hope.
After leaving Chelsea’s 2-0 loss to Brentford on Saturday because to an injury, winger Mykhailo Mudryk made an enigmatic comment on the internet. during making four straight starts in all competitions and five in six for his club during the September international break, the most recent setback has been devastating.
It had been Mudryk’s best play since joining the team. He did, however, suffer a minor setback during the team’s triumph over Fulham at the beginning of October—the game in which he ultimately scored the team’s first goal. That niggle prompted him to start on the bench against Burnley, but he was back in the starting lineup against Arsenal.
After a slow start to life in London, the run of games showed him at his best when he was wearing a Chelsea shirt, but it was again cut short when Mauricio Pochettino declared he wasn’t well enough to play before the match against the Bees. Before the game, the manager said, “Yesterday, both Enzo [Fernandez] and [Mykhailo] Mudryk felt a small muscle issue but hopefully for the next game [Blackburn], they’ll be available.”
“We’ll miss both, Missha (Mudryk) as well, but we have a big squad, so we’ll figure things out.” After goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Ethan Pinnock, Raheem Sterling was switched to the left once more, giving Noni Madueke the starting nod in the lineup. Despite this, neither player was able to lead the team to a sixth straight game without a win.
On Wednesday, the mid-table Championship team Blackburn Rovers will visit the Blues for another Carabao Cup home game. That will be the team’s last chance to get ready for a hard series of games, which will include the meeting on Monday against Tottenham and the fixtures against Manchester City, Brighton, Newcastle, and Manchester United over the next six weeks.
Chelsea and Pochettino will be hoping that Mudryk makes a comeback for that game after a taxing run of games, as he attempts to reclaim the form that many have been missing for the previous month. The 22-year-old has now shared something on social media that seems like an update.
