@dailymailsport: Mykhailo Mudryk can return to football immediately after his four-year doping ban was reduced by two-and-a-half years. The Chelsea winger, who last played against Heidenheim in the Conference League before being charged by the Football Association in December 2024 for failing a doping test, is now expected to rejoin the squad on their pre-season tour, likely in Hong Kong. Chelsea said the case had been "an extremely difficult period" for the 25-year-old both professionally and personally, adding they were pleased the matter had reached a conclusion allowing him to return immediately. The club also stressed they had supported Mudryk throughout the process while respecting the anti-doping system and legal proceedings. #mudryk #chelsea #PremierLeague #news #football
