Chelsea’s Ukrainian left winger, Mykhailo Mudryk, will be excluded from the under-21 category from next season, which poses a problem for the team’s head coach, Mauricio Pochettino. Premier League rules state that a team can only have a maximum of 17 such players on application, and Chelsea already has 18. Pochettino will have to remove at least one player from the application before the start of the season. This does not include any potential new players in the future. Mudryk has played 17 games for Chelsea this season, where he managed to score two assists, and his contract is valid until 2031.
Mikhail Mudrik from next season will start to be under the Premier League limit. Head coach Mauricio Pochettino has an important decision to make.
Chelsea’s 22-year-old Ukrainian left winger Mykhailo Mudryk will no longer be included in the under-21 category from next season.

Under Premier League rules, a team can have a maximum of 17 such players on application, provided they are not apprentices of a club that is part of the Football Association of England or Wales.
According to Football.London, Chelsea already have 18 such players.
That is, the new head coach Mauricio Pochettino, who will officially receive the team from July 1, will have to remove at least one player from the application. And this is without taking into account the possibility of future transfers to the entrance of players from this category.
