Chelsea's coach Graham Potter has explained why Ukrainian footballer Mykhailo Mudryk is yet to be featured in the Blues' last two fixtures.

Mykhailo Mudryk was just inches away from scoring his first Chelsea goal and Blues fans have taken to Twitter to console the youngster.

@DoctourBrown tweeted: "Mudryk hits Didier Drogba's celebration on his birthday. F****** hell mudryk lovely finish though bless you." Mudryk has been desperate to net his first goal for the club and he almost did had he not been offside. Mudryk wheeled away in celebration before throwing himself into a knee slide by the corner flag, reminiscent of Didier Drogba. Just moments later, he was ruled offside and his goal was chalked off. Chelsea supporters have consoled Mykhailo Mudryk on social media after VAR ruled out his first goal for Chelsea.
