Mykhaylo Mudryk, a 25-year-old Ukrainian winger, will be out for six to eight weeks due to an ankle injury suffered during training. He was loaned from Chelsea to Tottenham in the recent transfer market with a non-mandatory purchase option of £75 million.

The injury occurred on Monday, September 7, two days after Mudryk played his first official minutes with Tottenham. He came on in the 74th minute of the 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest, ending a competitive absence dating back to November 2024.

Mykhaylo Mudryk sidelined again after debut

Tottenham announced Mudryk's signing on September 1, on loan from Chelsea until the end of the season. The deal includes a purchase option of £75 million, yet it is not obligatory for the London club to make the transfer permanent.

This move marked the Ukrainian's return to competition after almost two years without playing an official match. Before his debut, Roberto De Zerbi had confirmed that the forward was ready to play between 15 and 30 minutes against Forest.

Mudryk could only participate for a few minutes before now facing a new physical setback. The prognosis indicates his return in October as a possibility, although the final timeline will depend on the ankle's recovery progress.

The issue arises when Tottenham is still seeking solutions for their attack. De Zerbi's team had not scored in their first three Premier League games and also failed to find the net against Nottingham Forest, where Mudryk made his debut as a substitute.

Chelsea retains control over Mudryk's future

Chelsea loaned Mudryk after a period marked by scarce playing time. Since his arrival in January 2023 from Shakhtar Donetsk, he played 73 matches with the London club and contributed to 21 goals, according to Tottenham's official data.

The agreement with Tottenham allows Chelsea to secure a definitive exit route next summer. The £75 million set for the purchase makes Mudryk's performance crucial for Spurs to decide on executing that option.

Returning to competition also closed a chapter related to a doping case. Mudryk received a four-year suspension in December 2024 after testing positive for meldonium but was able to return to professional football after resolving the matter with sports authorities.

The doping case explains part of the 646 days between his last official match with Chelsea and appearing against Forest. Now, the injury adds another six to eight weeks of absence just when Tottenham was looking to regain the loaned player.

Mykhaylo Mudryk's next goal will be to complete his recovery during the international break and gradually reintegrate with Tottenham in October. From there, Chelsea will monitor his performance, and Spurs will need to assess, with the £75 million option on the table, whether it's worth converting the loan into a permanent transfer.
