Goals by Cole Palmer and Christopher Nkunku propelled Chelsea to a 2-1 triumph over Brighton on Wednesday evening on the southern coast. However, the victory soured as their Ukrainian winger suffered an injury just before halftime, and captain Reece James was sent off with only two minutes remaining in regulation time.
Mudryk’s evening was abruptly cut short following a collision with Tariq Lamptey. Despite receiving initial medical attention, he was unable to continue, prompting Chelsea to utilize a concussion substitute, replacing him with Nkunku. The concussion substitution rule allows both teams to make an additional substitution in such circumstances after consulting with the match referee and the club’s medical staff. Nonetheless, the rule mandates a seven-day cooling-off period for the player, meaning Mudryk will miss the final Premier League fixture against Bournemouth.
During his post-match press conference, Pochettino provided an update on Mudryk’s condition, confirming that the player was not doing well.
Pochettino explained, “No, he is not OK, we are checking. He was a little bit dizzy but we used the concussion substitution and the rule is seven days, so he is not going to be available for the next game, but I hope it is nothing wrong.”
Chelsea require just one point from their last match of the season against Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge to secure European football for the following season. It marks an impressive turnaround for the Blues, winning four consecutive league games after a dismal start to the season.
