Chelsea fans have been told the truth behind a viral photo claiming to show a suspended Mykhailo Mudryk back at the club’s Cobham training headquarters.
Mykhailo Mudryk’s career remains firmly stuck in limbo following the devastating four-year doping ban handed down to him. The Ukrainian winger hasn’t kicked a competitive ball for Chelsea since late 2024, leaving his massive £89 million transfer feeling like a distant memory.
Stripped of his number 10 shirt and banned from stepping foot inside the Cobham training headquarters, Mudryk has officially lodged a career-defining appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Until a final verdict drops, the 25-year-old is completely frozen out of Xabi Alonso’s squad plans while keeping fitness levels up entirely on his own.
How do you feel about this, Chelsea fans?🤔
Mykhailo Mudryk hasn’t been at Cobham
The Chelsea fanbase thought Mykhailo Mudryk had returned to training after a clip emerged showing what many swore was Mudryk working out in the background of a first-team gym session.
However, according to the Daily Mail, the truth is far less dramatic. The mystery man was actually goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen, whose uncanny resemblance to the winger sparked the confusion.
Mudryk is currently in London and was recently spotted enjoying the tennis at Wimbledon, but he remains banned from Cobham while awaiting his crucial Court of Arbitration for Sport appeal hearing.
Jordyn Jones turns Mykhailo Mudryk into a social media star
With his football career strictly on hold due to his doping ban, Mykhailo Mudryk has found a completely new way to stay relevant by leaning into his relationship with American social media star Jordyn Jones.
The influencer, who boasts over nine million followers, has effectively turned the Chelsea winger into an online sensation. From viral videos of Mudryk literally bench-pressing her like a gym weight to Disneyland Paris dates, their relationship has taken over TikTok and Instagram.
