Premier League side Chelsea take on La Liga unit Real Betis in the final of the UEFA Conference League at the Estadio Municipal de Breslavia in Wroclaw, Poland on Thursday.

Chelsea’s 24-year-old Ukrainian player, Mykhailo Mudryk, who is facing a doping investigation, was spotted in Poland ahead of the championship fixture between the sides.

Misha, as he is fondly known, hasn’t featured for the side since December, when the news of the doping violation broke out. Neither the London side nor The FA have provided any updates on the progress of the case and the winger has maintained a low profile ever since.

The update also came as news for Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca, who was informed of the same during the press conference ahead of the game. The Italian coach expressed his delight with the player having made the trip to Wroclaw for the game.

“To be honest, I just, I don’t know. He’s here, or he’s coming?" the 45-year-old asked in reply to the reporters.

“He’s here? I’m happy for Misha to be here. I don’t know, just happy for Misha to be here," Maresca said.

Mudryk, who arrived in London on a transfer in the surplus of the triple-digit million mark during the winter window of the 2023 campaign as the Ukrainian penned a eight and a half-year contract with the Blues.

Mudryk defended his position over the investigation stating that, “I know that I have not done anything wrong and remain hopeful that I will be back on the pitch soon," back in December.

Mudryk, however, stands to receive a medal from the final following his four group stage appearances for the club in the third-tier European tournament, in which he netted thrice for Chelsea.
