Ukrainian has not played since November 2024
Cas confirms appeal by Mudryk against the FA
The Chelsea forward Mykhailo Mudryk has appealed to the court of arbitration for sport after he received a reported four-year playing ban from the Football Association for the use of a banned substance.
Mudryk has not played a competitive match since November 2024 after he failed a drugs test while on international duty with Ukraine and began a provisional suspension. Under the terms of any four-year ban he would not be eligible for selection again until December 2028, but if an appeal to Cas were successful then the 25-year-old could possibly return next year.
It is understood that the appeal was submitted in February of this year and it was confirmed by Cas in a statement released on Wednesday. “Cas confirms it has received an appeal by Mykhailo Mudryk against the FA,” it read. “The parties are currently exchanging written submissions, and a hearing is yet to be scheduled.”
