Mykhailo Mudryk couldn’t have made much more of an impressive debut when he dazzled for half an hour against Liverpool as a sub last month.
However, in his starts since then he’s done almost nothing.
You can forgive him that – for one he’s a winger, a position which is very much “boom or bust.”
Secondly, of course, the whole team have been awful in those games, and Mudryk has barely had a sniff.
Nevertheless, he has a great chance to turn things around this weekend and needs to take it. After a game on the bench he should be fit and firing to take on Spurs on Sunday.
It’s a chance he needs to take – Raheem Sterling is back and fit and pressuring him for minutes, with Noni Madueke, Hakim Ziyech and a host of others also pushing to play.
He will be here for the long haul, and there will be ups and downs along the way – but this weekend is a big moment for his early Chelsea career.
