Mykahilo Mudryk has taken to social media and told people not to give up on him as he continues to fight his case against a fail doping test.
The Ukrainian hasn’t featured for Chelsea since a 2-0 win against Heidenheim in the Conference League in November 2024.
Mudryk failed a doping test whilst on international duty towards the end of 2024, and is currently provisionally suspended from football.

Updates on Mudryk’s case have been few and far between, but the 24-year-old has always maintained his innocence.
The winger is banned from Chelsea’s Cobham training base, but it’s been reported Chelsea have provided him with a training plan.
Mudryk was last pictured taking part in some filming for a documentary about Ukraine and his former club Shakhtar Donetsk.
Both he and Chelsea will hope 2026 is the year an outcome is reached one way or another, and Mudryk took to Instagram on Wednesday night to share a message.
“Happy new year to all my fans, please don’t give up on me as I not give up on myself, can’t wait to see you soon.”
In Mudryk’s absence Chelsea have signed two left wingers in Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens, who have both struggled for consistency this season.

Chelsea looking to add another attacker in 2026
Chelsea are reportedly looking to add another attacker in 2026, and already have Geovany Quenda and Emmanuel Emegha arriving.
Despite two new attackers already joining the Blues are believed to be looking for a further addition, and were briefly linked with Antoine Semenyo, who looks set to join Manchester City.
It will be interesting to see what sort of attacker Chelsea are looking for, given they are well stocked in all areas, but they could be looking for better quality, which is definitely required.
