Graham Potter has moved to reassure Mykhaylo Mudryk of his importance to Chelsea after the £87million January recruit failed to make it off the bench in the past two games.
Mudryk arrived in west London during the January transfer window after the Blues gazumped Arsenal to land the Ukraine international. He came with a heavy burden of expectation after impressing for Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League, but has yet to find his feet at Chelsea.
The 22-year-old has not contributed a goal or an assist in six appearances and has found himself out of the team. After being given just 10 minutes at the end of the 2-0 defeat at Tottenham in February, he has been left on the bench during the past two matches, wins over Leeds and Borussia Dortmund.
