Mudryk received a huge cheer when his picture appeared on the big screen at Kai Tak Stadium, where Chelsea held an open training session before facing Juventus. Mudryk also trained on Monday, and before the training session, Chelsea filmed him pointing to the club badge, perhaps signalling his appreciation for the support he has received from them during his time away. Mudryk is understood to be delighted with how he has been treated but much comes down to his efforts during that 20-month spell. Mudryk hired a private coach and booked goalkeepers and outfield players to train against at Honeycroft Stadium, the home of seventh-tier side Uxbridge FC. His personal coach took him on a training camp to Austria for several weeks this summer, knowing he could be returning to football in the near future.
