Story summary

Mykhailo Mudryk, currently on loan at Tottenham from Chelsea, made an appearance in the stands during Shakhtar Donetsk's Champions League match against AEK Athens in London. The Ukrainian club, which hasn't played home games in its own stadium since 2014 due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, drew a crowd of 29,144 for the match. Mudryk and former Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko, who is now president of the Ukrainian Football Association, were among those watching the game. Despite being cleared by the FA this summer after resolving anti-doping issues, Mudryk has not played a competitive game for Chelsea in nearly two years.
