Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso shared his enmity with the return of Ukrainian winger Mikhail Mudryk, who has since signed for the London club since the fall of autumn 2024.

The 25-year-old Ukrainian will replace him in the 82nd friendly match against Juventus, which took place in Hong Kong. For Mudryk, this was his first appearance on the field after a difficult pause due to the doping scandal..

After the death of Alonso, he did not receive positive emotions through the return of the Ukrainian.

" It was an emotional experience for everyone in the club to see him on the field again, especially since before the match I told him that I planned to let him out for 10-15 minutes..

Once upon a time of capture, without any doubts. After such a difficult period, to fall on the football field again - it will be very important for the new. And this miracle is the same for all of us,” Football London quotes Xabi Alonso as saying..

Apparently, Chelsea gave up Juventus with a 0:1 loss in a friendly match, and the return of Mudryk became one of the main goals for the London club.
