Rio Ferdinand suspects that teams may have already begun to work out how to defend against Mykhailo Mudryk. The 22-year-old struggled to impress on his Stamford Bridge debut as Chelsea were held to a goalless draw by Fulham on Friday night.
After failing to impact the game, he was replaced by Noni Madueke at half-time. But, after the game, Graham Potter revealed that Mudryk had been suffering from a heavy cold in the week building up to the west London derby.
Nevertheless, the Ukraine international recorded fewer touches (19) than Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno in the opening 45 minutes. So, Ferdinand has suggested that clubs have already worked out how to stop Mudryk and that the winger may need to diversify his method of attack.
