Chelsea's Enzo Maresca: We believe Mykhailo Mudryk is innocent

Enzo Maresca has said that Chelsea believe Mykhailo Mudryk is innocent following his positive drugs test and will continue to "support" the player.

Mudryk and Chelsea released statements on Tuesday confirming that the FA had been in contact over the Ukraine winger supplying an adverse urine sample, with both player and club expressing their surprise.

Chelsea head coach Maresca faced the media for the first time since that news on Wednesday and said Chelsea trust Mudryk, who is not training with the team while they await further test results.
