Mudryk joined Chelsea in January from Shakhtar Donetsk for a fee of around Β£88.5m.

The Ukraine international has struggled to find his feet in England and is yet to score in 19 outings.

His latest appearance came in a 0-0 draw vs Bournemouth this past Sunday, which saw him subbed off after 63 minutes.

After the game, Mauricio Pochettino was not too kind in his comments regarding the winger:

β€œHe is improving. He still needs to learn; the Premier League is very fast, the speed of the game is so fast,” the Argentine said.

β€œI think it’s about understanding the game better, try to be more connected sometimes with the team.

Now, ex-Chelsea midfielder Emmanuel Petit has hit out at Mauricio Pochettino for his comments regarding Mudryk: β€œMykhailo Mudryk isn’t the only one struggling in that team, so pointing at him in the press will not help him at all because he’s not playing with confidence.

β€œMudryk will be thinking, β€˜Why is my manager saying I don’t understand the way I should be playing in the Premier League?’ This is a bad sign and I’m pretty sure he will be on the bench next time against Aston Villa.

β€œMauricio Pochettino should look at other players too because the Bournemouth result was not Mudryk’s fault. Chelsea could have played for a week and wouldn’t have scored. I was bored watching the game.”
