Chelsea’s Mudryk set to miss until after break with ankle injury
The Chelsea winger sustained an ankle problem in training and is expected to be out until after the international break, with the earliest return projected around mid-October.
Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk is set to be sidelined until after the international break with an ankle injury sustained in training, with the earliest return estimated for mid-October. The update emerged on Wednesday.
Ben Jacobs brought word of it, reporting that Mudryk will not be available again before the break and that mid-October is viewed as the first realistic window for a comeback.
The timeline points to a spell of several weeks out rather than a day-to-day issue. It should be read as guidance rather than a fixed date, with any reappearance dependent on how the ankle responds to treatment and load over the coming fortnight.
A training-ground injury removes Mudryk from immediate contention and leaves Chelsea planning without the winger through the run of matches leading into the international window. No further specifics on severity or a target fixture were disclosed.
While return dates can shift as recovery progresses, the indication that he will only be back after the break suggests a cautious approach to his reintegration. If the recovery stays on course, Chelsea will be in a position to reassess his availability once club football resumes, with mid-October highlighted as the earliest potential return.
