For Mykhailo Mudryk, the signs of further whereabouts are obviously not good for the “blues”. The reason: a decision that the club has now announced – and pushes its player up.
Chelsea FC has given his superstar Cole Palmer a special honor – and publicly demonstrated another professional in his own squad.
Because as the club announced, Palmer will run on the back with a different number with a different number as before. “Chelsea can confirm that Cole Palmer will wear the jersey with number 10 from the 2025/26 season, starting with the club World Cup,” says the statement on the club website. Chelsea already presented the 22-year-old’s new jersey on social media. At the start of the club World Cup, the team meets Los Angeles FC.
On the other hand, what the association did not mention: With this, Palmer’s teammate Mykhailo Mudryk, who previously wore the 10, loses his traditional number. And was not mentioned in the message with any word.
For Mudryk, this step of the club is the next setback: in December 2024, Mudryk was tested positively for a forbidden substance. Since then he has been blocked and has not played a game for the “blues”. When the lock ends is still unclear. The results of the B test are still pending. Until his lock, the 24-year-old has had 73 missions in the Chelsea jersey since his obligation in 2022. He scored ten goals and prepared eleven more.
The offensive player came from Schachtar Donetsk for around 100 million euros – as a great hope. So far, the sporting breakthrough has failed to materialize. If further missions are added, at least no longer with the number 10.
