Mykhailo Mudryk sends cryptic message as Chelsea star vows to improve after Dortmund criticism

Mykhailo Mudryk has posted a cryptic message to his Instagram story following criticism for his role in Chelsea's defeat to Borussia Dortmund. The 22-year-old was replaced by Mason Mount in the second-half of the Champions League round of 16 first-leg, shortly after the German outfit took the lead.

Karim Adeyemi proved the difference between the two sides; the Blues had a corner and, as the ball was cleared, Dortmund hit the visitors on the counter-attack. The striker glided past Enzo Fernandez before slaloming around Kepa Arrizabalaga and slotting the ball into an empty net.

Mudryk was closest to Adeyemi when the ball broke and failed to close the youngster down, leaving Chelsea vulnerable. Joe Cole was very critical of the Ukraine international after the game, insisting that he should take some of the blame for the goal.
