Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk has been handed a six-month driving ban for repeatedly flouting UK traffic laws. Mudryk was provisionally suspended from football in December 2024 following a positive drugs test. In June, he was charged with violating anti-doping laws and is now awaiting the final outcome of an FA investigation.
Chelsea have reportedly received a Champions League boost as suspended Mykhailo Mudryk's wages will not be budgeted under UEFA rules. The Ukrainian winger, who has been unavailable since failing an anti-doping test last December, was already struggling to justify the £56 million ($75m) fee that lured him from Shakhtar Donetsk. However, his enforced absence could prove crucial in allowing Chelsea to register all of their big-money summer recruits for Europe's elite competition.
