The blues is set to face Fulham at Craven Cottage today, with a win potentially boosting their chances of securing a Champions League ticket.
However, the Blues will have to do so without the services of winger Mykhailo Mudryk, who scored for Chelsea in their last meeting against Fulham.
Mudryk has been provisionally suspended following an adverse finding in a routine urine test, casting uncertainty over his future with the club.
In their last encounter at Fulham, Mudryk’s goal contributed to Chelsea’s 2-0 win. Today, Chelsea seeks to maintain momentum, having not won any of their last eight away games.

Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy has shed light on the managerial philosophy of Jose Mourinho that led to rift with Eden Hazard.
A victory would put them nine points clear of Fulham with 15 points still up for grabs.
What Mudryk said
Mudryk strongly denied any wrongdoing in an official statement in December, claiming he’s “never knowingly used any banned substances or broken any rules.”

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has backed Mudryk, expressing trust and support for the player.
The substance in question is reportedly meldonium, an anti-ischemia medication.
Several high-profile athletes, including Maria Sharapova and Alexander Povetkin, have faced sanctions for testing positive for meldonium.
Mudryk’s situation has sparked debate, with many awaiting the FA’s decision on his case. The winger’s future at Chelsea remains uncertain until the investigation is resolved.
