Ukrainian Association of Football President Andriy Shevchenko has addressed the current suspension of Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk. Shevchenko clarified that while the UAF is not a party to the conflict, they remain fully committed to supporting the player throughout the legal process.
We believe in Mykhailo and believe he did everything correctly. We are ready to help and have always helped him, responding to all requests sent by his lawyers. We shared as much information as we could gather and have been in dialogue with his legal team. Andriy Shevchenko
Mudryk has been handed a four-year ban but has since filed an appeal. The Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne is expected to review the case soon. The UAF is hopeful that the court will reach a favorable decision and reduce the duration of the suspension.
