The Ukrainian international was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-in/lists/chelsea-winger-mykhailo-mudryk-suspended-football-positive-drugs-test/blt806dfe0a81fb7a04" target="_blank">provisionally suspended in December</a> and now faces a potential four-year footballing ban if found guilty. Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca addressed the situation at a press conference on Thursday.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Mudryk has not played for Chelsea since November but was present during the Blues’ Europa Conference League celebrations in Poland last month. The Ukrainian is under contract at Stamford Bridge until 2031, and as it stands, he cannot train or participate in team activities during his suspension. Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Maresca says the winger remains supported by the club.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Speaking to the media, Maresca said: "I spoke with Mischa in Poland when we played the Conference League final. I haven’t spoke with him since then.</p><p>"I didn’t see the news but they communicated it to me but there is nothing more I can add because I don’t have more information.</p><p>"Last time I spoke to him he was quite good, I didn't see him worried, I didn't speak to him since then so I don't know but for sure we will have contact with him."</p>

WHAT MARESCA SAID

<p>Mudryk awaits the outcome of the FA’s investigation, which could lead to a lengthy suspension. Chelsea are expected to maintain contact and monitor his situation closely while exploring their squad options ahead of the new season.</p>
