Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk can return to professional football with immediate effect after the Football Association (FA) announced his doping case has been resolved.

The 25-year-old has not featured in a competitive match since November 2024 having been provisionally suspended after returning an “adverse finding” for banned substance meldonium.

Ukraine international Mudryk was subsequently given the maximum four-year ban by the FA but he appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against the decision.

In a statement on Friday, the FA said Mudryk is eligible to return to competition after English football’s governing body resolved the anti-doping disciplinary proceedings with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
