‘He's here?' – Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca stunned by banned Mykhailo Mudryk's arrival before Conference League final
Mudryk has been provisionally suspended since December after testing positive for a banned substance, reported to be meldonium. The Ukrainian has always denied deliberately taking a banned substance and was awaiting the results of a 'B' sample. There has been no further update since the adverse finding was initially made public but if found guilty, Mudryk could face a lengthy ban. The 24-year-old last played for Chelsea in late November and has largely kept out of the public eye since, but was photographed with supporters in a steakhouse in Wroclaw on Tuesday afternoon while wearing club attire. It is understood that Mudryk did not travel to the Polish city with the Chelsea squad, who arrived later on Tuesday, but it is not known whether he is staying at the team hotel or whether the club paid for his travel. Asked about Mudryk's appearance in his pre-match press conference, Maresca was visibly confused and initially lost for words. 'To be honest, I just, I don't know…' the Italian said. 'He is here or he is coming? He's here? I'm happy for Misha [Mudryk] to be here.' Mudryk made four appearances during the Conference League group stage, scoring three goals and registering three assists, and also featured in both qualifying games against Servette back in August. Under Uefa rules he is therefore eligible to receive a medal should Chelsea beat Real Betis, but it is unclear at this stage whether he will attend the final in person or be allowed onto the pitch for the post-game presentations.

Scottish Champions Ayrshire FootGolf Club are competing in the World Club Trophy in France, where they will face off against the French and Swiss champions. The side, who play their home games at Kilmarnock's Caprington Community Golf Club, will also play against a Hungarian side featuring the men's World Champion in the group stage. The event takes place at Golf Club Domaine de Champlong, around 250 miles south of Paris, on Saturday and Sunday.

Should they triumph in the play-off, they will book their place in the finals of the competition, which take place in Devon, England, in August, and will feature teams from other continents across the globe. A squad of seven from the 35-strong team was picked to make the journey to the town of Roanne, near Lyon, for the competition. The team is made of up of captain John Grant and vice-captain Daniel Mains, Michael Kelly and serial Scotland internationalists Michael Eardley, Gavin Craig, David Quigley and Rory Cassidy, who all represented Scotland at the 2023 FootGolf World Cup in Orlando, Florida, with Gavin, Michael and Rory also playing for Scotland at FootGolf European Championships in Turkey last year.
