๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐: The Football Association have handed Chelseaโs Mykhailo Mudryk a four-year ban (the maximum ban) for an anti-doping offence, which is now being appealed in Court Arbitration for Sport.
Mudryk has not played professional football since November 2024, shortly before he was contacted by the FA regarding an adverse finding in a routine urine test testing positive for meldonium. He was subsequently charged with a breach of the governing bodyโs anti-doping rules in June 2025.
๐ฃ๏ธ An official statement from CAS in Switzerland read:
โCAS confirms it has received an appeal by Mykhailo Mudryk against the FA, filed on 25 February 2026. The Parties are currently exchanging written submissions, and a hearing is yet to be scheduled.
CAS have also confirmed the Ukrainian is now appealing against the "imposed period of ineligibility of four years".

๐จ Chelsea are set to re-open talks at the end of the season to see if they can come to an agreement with Enzo Fernandez. Enzo wants a new contract thatโs similar to those handed to Caicedo, James and Palmer.
There is some reservations if Mike Penders is ready for the step up to Chelsea next season, and thereโs a temptation for another 1 year loan.
