Alonso added: "It's too early to tell how he is in terms of fitness, in terms of the game time you need to be involved again, so it's still too early to tell. Mudryk has not been able to train at Chelsea's training ground or work with club staff. Instead, he hired his own private coach and goalkeepers, and conducted training sessions at non-league side Uxbridge. Alonso also acknowledged Mudryk's return is a surprise, with Chelsea having built a squad full of alternative options on the wing. "Yeah, to be honest, we were not expecting to have this great news at this moment," he said.
