Depending on the result of current actions, Mudryk could be suspended for up to four years, further examined, or perhaps subject to disciplinary hearings.

What this means for Chelsea
Particularly considering important matches upcoming, this accusation might influence Enzo Maresca’s squad strategy.
Should he be convicted, the Ukrainian could be banned for a considerable amount of time—something that could slow down his increasing role on the squad.
For the moment, the club and the FA are keeping silence. The football industry is observing the case develop with great interest.
