Gabby Agbonlahor wasn’t impressed by Chelsea’s Mykhailo Mudryk after watching his Ukraine performance this weekend.

Ukraine will have been happy when they recorded a 1-1 draw on Saturday evening against England, which could be a decent point in their quest for European Championship qualification.

Mykhailo Mudryk, who’s not started a game yet for this season, was in the Ukraine XI last night.

The 22-year-old left-winger showed a willingness to create and counter, but got zero change out of England right-back Kyle Walker.

Pundit Gabby Agbonlahor delivered a harsh four-word assessment of Mudryk’s latest international display.

“Mudryk is so bad,” Agbonlahor wrote on X.

We’re still not prepared to completely write off Mudryk. He desperately needs a lucky break or to produce a piece of magic on the pitch, though.

It’s going to be a tough ask for the Ukrainian speedster to force his way into Mauricio Pochettino’s line-up when he’s this out of form.

BBC pundit Matt Upson claimed yesterday Mudryk looks a little lost out on the pitch, as quoted by BBC Radio 5 Live.

A run of starts for club and country may be the perfect solution for him. Will he get that right now at Stamford Bridge, though?

In fairness, there’s several attacking options available to Chelsea, so he may be someway down the pecking order right now.
