Mudryk Returns to Action as BingX Seeks Exposure in Preseason Match

Mykhailo Mudryk's doping case has been resolved, and he's cleared to play competitively for Chelsea. This development comes at a crucial time, as his return is expected to coincide with a high-profile preseason match against Juventus in Hong Kong on August 5, 2026.

Mudryk was provisionally suspended after testing positive for a banned substance and has now completed just two training sessions with the squad. His potential return to action will provide valuable advertising real estate for BingX, the crypto exchange whose logo is displayed on Chelsea's sleeve during matches.

BingX partnered with Chelsea in January 2024 as their official crypto exchange partner, which included sleeve sponsorship rights. The renewal of this partnership for the 2026/27 season suggests confidence from BingX about its financial position and growth trajectory, especially given the tightening market conditions and increased regulatory scrutiny.
