1. Mykhailo Mudryk of Chelsea

Seeing the Ukrainian international Mykhailo Mudryk out of the Chelsea lineup against the Bees was quite devastating considering the run of form he had been on. As the the time of writing, Mudryk and Enzo Fernández have not been ruled out for Wednesday’s clash.

There was a spark missing from the Blues on Saturday afternoon. No. 10 very well may have been the player to change the complexion of the contest. With a quarterfinal spot on the line, Mudryk should play if his muscle injury is able to subside ahead of gameday. It’s smart not to risk either of them, especially due to their importance to the side. With the words “not big” being thrown around, there should not reason the winger does not suit up. In his last three matches, the Ukrainian collected two goals on the same amount of shots on target.
