Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk has reportedly been seen in Saudi Arabia just days after being suspended following a positive drugs test.

The 23-year-old was photographed alongside a Chelsea fan and YouTuber, who shared the image on social media.

Mudryk is believed to have travelled to Riyadh to support his compatriot, Ukrainian boxer Oleksandr Usyk, in his highly anticipated rematch with Tyson Fury.

The fan, known only as Shargi, claimed to have had a brief conversation with the £88 million winger.

Recalling the exchange, Shargi said:
“I told Mudryk, ‘Chelsea fans from all over the world trust you that you did not take a performance-enhancing substance. We love you very much and we trust in your return.’”

According to Shargi, Mudryk responded with optimism:
“Thank you very much, I hope everything is gonna be fine.”
