And if he is not playing, if Chelsea (are) not reaching results, we are losing \u20ac30m. That\u2019s a big financial impact for us,\u201d he told ESPN.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, everybody believes that this story will finish as soon as possible with positive results and Mudryk will return to playing. Otherwise, we will be in a position to lose \u20ac30m.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>If you enjoy Chelsea News coverage and want to see more of it, add us as a<span> <\/span>preferred source on Google<span>
