Mykhailo Mudryk is set to make just his fourth start for Chelsea since joining from Shakhtar Donetsk in January when the Blues take on Leicester City. Despite impressing on his debut against Liverpool - during a cameo appearance off the bench - and later starts against Fulham, West Ham and Borussia Dortmund, Mudryk has seen his minutes reduced over the last few weeks.
He was introduced as a second-half substitute in defeats to Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur before not featuring at all in the win at home to Leeds United and the second-leg triumph over Dortmund on Tuesday. Speaking in his pre-match press conference on Friday, manager Graham Potter insisted the Ukraine international has a positive future at Stamford Bridge.
The head coach added that he understands the adaptation period new signings must go through. "Of course, every player wants to play and it's important that players play to improve, I think that's a fact," Potter explained.
