Chelsea have confirmed that Mykhailo Mudryk will not be available for the London club in their final Premier League game of the season against Bournemouth.
Mykhailo Mudryk was subbed off in the first half of Chelsea win over Brighton and Hove on Wednesday night after a clash with Tariq Lamptey.
The Ukraine international was caught in the face and despite him trying to continue after receiving treatment, he was eventually replaced by Christopher Nkunku.

Mauricio Pochettino has now confirmed that who is gradually finding his feet in the Premier League will miss the final game at Stamford Bridge due to concussion protocols.
Pochettino gave an update on Mudryk. When asked if he was OK, he said: “No, he is not OK, we are checking.
“He was a little bit dizzy but we used the concussion substitution and the rule is seven days so he is not going to be available for the next game but I hope it is nothing wrong.”
Chelsea will also be without their captain, Reece James, who was sent off during the win over Brighton and Hove Albion.
Reece James after coming on in the second half as he steps up his return from injury, was shown a straight red card for kicking out at Joao Pedro.
The sending-off means that James will now be suspended for the clash against Bournemouth. He will also miss the opening two games of the 2024/25 season.
Chelsea are currently ranked sixth on the Premier League table and a win against Bournemouth will see them play European football next season.
