Chelsea STRIP £89m star Mykhailo Mudryk of their No 10 shirt and hand it to Cole Palmer - and don't even mention him in statement - in fresh update on Ukranian's doping scandal
Chelsea have taken their No 10 shirt off Mykhailo Mudryk amid his suspension from football following his failed drugs test. Mudryk, who joined Chelsea for £89m from Shakhtar Donetsk in January 2023, has not played for the Blues since November after testing positive for the banned substance meldonium. He has now been stripped of his shirt number, with Cole Palmer taking on the famous jersey. Chelsea confirmed the switch in a statement that did not even mention Mudryk on Thursday morning. The statement read: 'Chelsea can confirm Cole Palmer will move to the No.10 shirt ahead of our 2025/26 campaign, starting from the FIFA Club World Cup. 'Palmer, who has worn the No.20 shirt since signing from Manchester City in September 2023, will make the switch ahead of our participation in the US-based tournament and could wear 10 for the first time when the Blues face Los Angeles FC in Atlanta on June 16. 'Supporters are reminded that the full list of squad numbers for the 2025/26 season will be finalised once the summer transfer window has shut. 'They remain subject to change until that point.'

Police dogs ‘should get pensions'
Police dogs should be given pensions in recognition of their service to the country, ministers have been told. The Thin Blue Paw Foundation (TBPF), a charity for retired police dogs, said ministers had an 'ethical and moral obligation' to the animals which often cost more to care for in retirement because of injuries and health problems derived from their years in police service. The charity said it has provided grants of £380,000 to owners since it was set up in August 2020, to cover vet bills and care for them after they retire. It is estimated it costs as much as £250 more a month to look after former police dogs than other dogs. Kieran Stanbridge, chairman of TBPF said: ' Police dogs give the best years of their lives to the job. 'They throw themselves into dangerous situations without a second thought, they show unwavering loyalty to their handler and their job, and they give so much to help fight crime and keep the public safe. 'During their careers they receive the very best care and support from the force they serve with but, as soon as they hang up their harness, they're on their own, and the responsibility for their often-expensive care falls to their ex-handler or new owner. 'We believe that the Home Office, who allocate funding to police forces nationally, have an ethical and moral obligation to these dogs and shouldn't turn their backs on them when it's time to pay them back for everything they've done.' Bills can reach £2,400 a year There are around 1,700 serving police dogs in the UK, according to the foundation, and roughly 100 retire each year. The charity has launched a petition to push the Government for a ring-fenced budget to provide support for the owners of retired police dogs. Conditions such as arthritis can mean bills of up to £2,400 per year for pain medication, the charity said, and because these are pre-existing medical complaints they would not be covered by pet insurance. Mr Stanbridge said: 'Police dogs lead physically demanding lives and, when they retire – whether due to injury or age – they often have health problems as a result of their career, which can require expensive medication, therapy and management throughout their retirement. 'Taking on any dog is a responsibility, but taking on an older retired police dog with health problems is a huge commitment, particularly during the current cost-of-living crisis. 'We need to ensure that there is support in place for these heroic police dogs so that people aren't put off the idea of rehoming them when they retire and so that owners are never faced with the heartbreaking decision of having them put to sleep because they can't afford their treatment.' 'These dogs deserve our ongoing support' Julie Roy, a Police Scotland dog handler, was faced with large vet bills caring for retired German shepherd Keach, who worked for West Midlands Police before moving north of the border. Keach has arthritis in her spin and knee, and the Thin Blue Paw Foundation pays for her pain medication. Ms Roy said: 'Vet bills are expensive and our dogs have worked hard in their working life, putting extra strain on the joints and the body. 'These dogs deserve to have ongoing support when they retire, so they can access the medication and treatment they need having served their communities for so long.' Claire Bird, a fellow dog handler from West Sussex, adopted Fiji, a Belgian Malinois who worked for Surrey Police. She has required two operations, one for an infection of the uterus and a gastric procedure, and needs regular medication for allergies. So far the foundation has paid £10,000 for her care. Ms Bird said: 'I've kept all of my working dogs when they retire and, as any dog owner knows, taking care of them is expensive. But I couldn't turn my back on them after everything they've given. 'I believe that there should be more support in place for these incredible heroes when they retire. 'They do so much for us while they're serving and yet when they retire, the Government and the police turn their backs on them.'
