Mudryk received number 33 in Chelsea for the 2026/27 season

Chelsea announced the numbers of football players for the 2026/27 season. The Ukrainian winger Mykhailo Mudryk, who received the 33rd number, was also on the list. The 25-year-old previously played for the Londoners with numbers 15 and 10. Now Mudryk has been given a new playing number after returning to the team after suspension. We will remind you that in December 2024, the banned substance meldonium was found in the body of a Ukrainian. After a long layoff, Mudryk returned to action for Chelsea and has already made three appearances, playing a total of 39 minutes against Juventus, AC Milan and Darul Taksim. At the same time, the future of the winger in the London team remains uncertain. It was previously reported that Chelsea are considering loaning Mudryk to get regular game practice. One of the contenders was called Coventry, which returned to the Premier League this summer.
