While Mudryk and Enzo Fernandez were both ruled out at the same time, Fernandez has already made his return to action in midweek. However, there is now an update on Mudryk’s possible comeback, and he may be ready to feature against Spurs.
Is Mykhailo Mudryk Fit to Face Tottenham?
Mudryk has returned to full team training ahead of Chelsea’s clash with Tottenham. During a press conference, manager Mauricio Pochettino hinted that the winger might be fit to play against Spurs. When asked about Mudryk’s availability for the London derby, Pochettino said, “Mudryk, maybe. Nkunku no.”
Chelsea has since confirmed that Mudryk has been participating in full training, as mentioned in a pre-match injury update on their website. Although he did not feature in the squad for the Carabao Cup match against Blackburn, it is likely that he had only been in full training for a couple of days. Nevertheless, this news is positive for fans hoping to see him on the field at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Mudryk joined a long list of casualties for Chelsea this season when he suffered his injury last week. However, the team has seen the return of captain Reece James from a long-term issue, and Benoit Badiashile is also fit and playing once again. Armando Broja could potentially play a part in the upcoming match against Tottenham, but several key players for Pochettino’s team, including Nkunku, Ben Chilwell, Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia, Trevoh Chalobah, and Carney Chukwuemeka, remain sidelined due to injuries.
As the match between Chelsea and Tottenham approaches, fans eagerly await updates on Mudryk’s fitness and whether he will be able to contribute to the team’s performance. The winger’s return would undoubtedly provide a boost to Chelsea’s attacking options and increase their chances of securing a victory against their London rivals.
