Reports have claimed that Mykhailo Mudryk is still struggling to come to terms with the English language at Chelsea right now.
According to the Evening Standard, the winger is not yet up to speed with what manager Mauricio Pochettino wants him to do on the pitch right now.
Mudryk’s season has certainly taken a turn in the last few weeks, after he found minutes extremely difficult to come by in the opening games.
He has now started three successive games in all competitions, and has been one of the standout performers in the first half of each one.
The Ukraine international has been replaced in every game so far, however in his best performance against Aston Villa this was due to Malo Gusto’s red card.
Mudryk struggling with English
After being replaced in the week, he received a standing ovation as recognition of his efforts.
It remains to be seen whether he is handed the opportunity to continue his good form when the Blues are back in Premier League action tonight against Fulham.
With some of the injury problems currently suffered by the team, it is likely that he will be back in the starting side on the left.
Ben Chilwell, who started the season in a left-wing role, is set to be out for a few weeks now following a hamstring injury he suffered last week.
Pochettino has claimed today that he has no players in his squad that are similar to Mudryk, and this makes him an unpredictable asset for the Blues.
