Renowned football insider Fabrizio Romano, a trusted source in the world of transfer news and unofficial updates, has weighed in on the ongoing doping scandal involving Mykhailo Mudryk. In a conversation with Czech club Sokol Stodulky forward Rostyslav Mazurik, reported by the Ukrainian outlet Legioners Ua, Romano expressed skepticism about the Ukrainian winger's immediate future in football.

“Regarding Mudryk’s test... As of now, the chances of him returning to football anytime soon are very slim,” Romano succinctly summarized, reflecting the current state of affairs and the information available to him.

The situation stems from a doping test that revealed traces of the banned substance meldonium. The outcome of the "B-sample" analysis, expected in late January or early February, will determine the final verdict and the potential sanctions Mudryk could face. If found guilty, the Ukrainian winger could be suspended for up to four years, effectively putting his career on hold.
