Enzo Maresca says Mykhailo Mudryk continues to be supported by Chelsea after being charged by the Football Association with breaching doping regulations.

The FA announced on Wednesday that Mudryk had been charged, having been provisionally suspended last November after testing positive for a banned substance.

Mudryk was last spotted with the squad during the Conference League celebrations in Poland last month, but has since lost squad number with star man Cole Palmer set to wear the No10 shirt next season.

Asked for an update on Thursday, Blues boss Enzo Maresca said: "I spoke with Mischa in Poland when we played the Conference League final. I haven’t spoke with him since then.

"I didn’t see the news but they communicated it to me but there is nothing more I can add because I don’t have more information."

He added: "Last time I spoke to him he was quite good, I didn't see him worried, I didn't speak to him since then so I don't know but for sure we will have contact with him."

Mudryk denies any wrongdoing.
