A journalist for the British publication Chelsea News commented on Mykhaylo Mudryk's decision to play for Ukraine's youth team at the upcoming European Championship.
Mikhail Mudrik"It's a bit of a strange decision from some points of view - he's a full-fledged and key player for the national team. Right now, for example, you won't see England call up Jude Bellingham for their youth team. But Ukraine are in a completely different position, and for them the U-21 European Championship could be a vital springboard for development.
From Chelsea's point of view, we really don't want Mudrick to play more games than necessary. But on the other hand, we like the idea of him gaining experience overall and playing more games. For a player who transferred for big money back in January this year, he's really played relatively few games in his career - only 64 games in the championships. Another dose of really competitive action could have done him good. He looked insecure and out of sorts in the Premier League. Hopefully his participation in the Euros will do him some good," the journalist wrote.
