Chelsea news: Mykhailo Mudryk missing from training ahead of Luton clash

Mudryk, who has seen a fresh lease of life at Chelsea under new boss Pochettino, came off the bench for the Blues in the 3-1 defeat to West Ham at the weekend.

The Ukrainian international struggled badly after arriving from Shakhtar Donetsk in January but the arrival of Pochettino has offered renewed hope.

With Chelsea short on numbers, his absence from training, (as reported by Football Daily) should be a cause for concern for Pochettino, who lost Carney Chukwuemeka earlier in the week. 

However, there is good news for the Chelsea boss, with Benoit Badiashile and Armando Broja close to full recovery.

Pochettino will be hopeful that the end of an injury crisis is coming towards an end in the next few weeks, though there still remains doubt over Mudryk's recent absence.
