Chelsea boss Graham Potter says new signing Mykhaylo Mudryk will “probably” play some part in their Premier League match with Liverpool tomorrow.
The Blues beat Arsenal to the €100m signing of the Ukraine international last week with Chelsea owner Todd Boehly now completing five new signings in the January transfer window with reports claiming there are more to come.
