Waking up to hear the injury of Mudryk is so painful to hear about.
As a Chelsea fan, I know Mudryk has not had the easiest time since joining the club. There have been moments when we expected him to finally show what he can do, but somehow one thing or another keeps getting in the way.

Now he is expected to be out for another six to eight weeks with an ankle injury. That one really got me.
What makes it even more frustrating is that the injury reportedly happened during training without a tackle or any serious movement. This is football for you. Sometimes you don't even need someone to tackle you before injury happens. You can just be training normally and suddenly find yourself facing weeks on the sidelines.
I can only imagine how Mudryk himself must be feeling right now.
After spending so much time away from football, getting back into the game should have been his chance to rebuild his confidence, get regular minutes and remind people why Chelsea signed him in the first place. Instead, he now has another period of watching football from the sidelines.
And honestly, I don't think he needs people putting more pressure on him right now.
Some Chelsea fans have already given up on Mudryk, and I understand why. We all want to see results, especially after the amount of money involved in his transfer. But I still believe there is a human being behind the player.
The most important thing now is for him to recover properly. I don't want him rushing back just because he wants to prove a point.
Take your time, Mudryk. Get yourself fit again.
Then come back with that hunger.
I still want to see the player we were excited about when he arrived at Chelsea. Maybe his story won't change overnight, but football has a funny way of giving players another opportunity.
So for now, I'm wishing Mudryk a smooth recovery.
Come back stronger, my guy. Show us what you got at Tottenham Hotspur
And when you finally return, please start hitting the cylinder! 😂💙
We are still waiting to see that Mudryk we believe is somewhere inside you even while you're still away at Tottenham.
