Mudryk struggling for formReceives provocative DM on InstagramChallenges fan to game for £10kWHAT HAPPENED?
Mudryk, who has been out of sorts of late, was goaded into a response on Instagram in the wake of the 4-1 defeat at Liverpool on Wednesday after receiving a message asking 'what the f*ck is going on' with his poor form, and whether he had 'forgotten how to play football'. He was then advised to do more one-on-one sessions because "something needs to change".

The winger did not take kindly to the criticism, calling the supporter out and challenging him to a lucrative one-v-one game of football. He wrote: "Come play 1-1 (one-v-one). For £10,000."
However, the troll quipped back: "Bro at this point I will personally give you money every time you score."

Along with his team as a whole, Mudryk's form has dipped alarmingly in recent games. Chelsea are winless in their last three matches and have suffered damaging, back-to-back defeats to Liverpool and Wolves in the league – conceding eight goals in the process.

The Blues, Mudryk and struggling head coach Mauricio Pochettino are in dire need of a change in their fortunes. The Ukrainian did get an assist in the defeat to Wolves, and he will hope to feature again in the FA Cup fourth-round replay against Aston Villa on Wednesday, with the manager's job potentially on the line.
