Britain's The Sun reported on the 21st (Korean time) that a photo of Mudryk with a Chelsea fan in Saudi Arabia was released just days after he was suspended for testing positive for drugs.
Moudrique, from Ukraine, is said to have flown to watch the boxing revenge match between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Usyk is from Ukraine.
The fan introduced himself on his social media that he had a short conversation with Moodrique. He told Mudryk "I believe you did not take the banned drug. We love you very much, and we believe in your return..." he said. Mudryk said "Thank you very much. I hope everything goes well.'
But it's a bittersweet picture. In January last year, Chelsea recruited young blood Mudryk, born in 2001, for 88 million pounds (about 160.5 billion won, 100 million euros), including options. Arsenal worked hard, but Chelsea succeeded in 'Hijacking'.

Expectations were higher when Mauricio Pochettino was appointed last season. Pochettino held 23-year-old Son Heung-min in his arms for a transfer fee of 22 million pounds (about 40 billion won) in August 2015. Son Heung-min has grown into a world class, becoming the first Asian player to become the top scorer in the EPL in the 2021-2022 season.
However, there was no reversal of mood leak. He made 31 appearances in the EPL last season. He started 18 games, and although his time increased to 1579 minutes, he had to settle for five goals.
Mudryk has lost its place again this season when coach Enzo Maresca took the helm. He has played seven games, but only one start. The time is 145 minutes. Mudryk was caught in a 'drug trap' last October, but this was recently brought to the world.
Britain's 'BBC' reported on the 17th that Mudryk tested positive for a banned drug. He was completely shocked. The player denied it to the extreme. Chelsea will reportedly try to find out the positive cause. 'If it is found that the banned drug was intentionally taken, he could be suspended for up to four years' it was reported.

Mudryk said "I have never intentionally used prohibited drugs or broken the rules. I was completely shocked. We are working closely with the club to figure out how this happened. I know I didn't do anything wrong. We hope to be able to return to the stadium soon."
The drug taken by Mudryk was said to be 'Meldonium'. 'Meldonium' is a controversial drug taken by tennis star Maria Sharapova. It helps you save oxygen and quickly restore energy in preparation for new physical stress. It has been widely used in Eastern Europe and has been included in the World Anti-Doping Agency's list of banned drugs since 2016.
Maresca supported Moody's for now. He "We all believe in the innocence of Mudryk. His Chelsea career is not over. We don't know when, but he will be back.'
Moodrique, who is on a temporary suspension, could be suspended for up to four years.
