CHELSEA star Mykhailo Mudryk has been handed more agony on top of his doping suspension.

The Ukrainian international has reportedly been "dumped" by a Russian model.

Influencer Violetta Bert has reportedly broken up with the Chelsea star

Mudryk, 24, is currently out of action after he was hit with a provisional suspension after he provided a positive result for an A-sample in late October.

Mudryk and Chelsea are now awaiting the result of the B-sample, which will confirm the original test if it also comes back positive - potentially leading to a FOUR YEAR ban.

The winger has denied any wrongdoing, but hasn't played for The Blues since November.

Life away from the pitch appears to have taken a hit too, with lifestyle social media page Game, Set & Match claiming that he has been dumped by fitness model Violetta Bert.

Mudryk had been linked with Bert in recent months, but hadn't gone public with their relationship.

And now it's claimed that Bert has ditched Mudryk to head on a romantic getaway with former Premier League star Weston McKennie.

US international McKennie, 26, currently plays his football with Juventus, but previously spent six months on loan in the Prem with Leeds United.

It's reported that McKennie and Bert have jetted off to France to head on a romantic getaway at world famous ski resort Courchevel.

The pair both began following each other on social media in October and have been exchanging likes on their posts since then.

While they both shared snaps of their holiday in the French Alps online, only for McKennie to swiftly delete his from his account.

It's worth caveating that neither McKennie or Bert appeared in each other's posts, however they did share pictures from the same locations.

It's not clear if the pair are officially dating at the moment.

Bert, who boasts 779,000 followers on Instagram, has also unfollowed Mudryk on Instagram.

Mudryk's reported heartbreak comes as his long wait continues for a decision on his ban.

The star has failed to live up to his £88m transfer to Stamford Bridge in 2023, and would go down as a catastrophic acquisition if he is banned long-term.

After his positive test was initially announced, Mudryk defended himself on Instagram.

He wrote: "I can confirm that I have been notified that a sample I provided to The FA contained a banned substance.

"This has come as a complete shock as I have never knowingly used any banned substances or broken any rules, and am working closely with my team to investigate how this could have happened.

"I know that I have not done anything wrong and remain hopeful that I will be back on the pitch soon. I cannot say any more now due to the confidentiality of the process, but I will as soon as I can."

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has publically declared the club's backing of the forward too.

He said: "We support and we trust Misha. Trust means that we believe Misha.

"We support Misha and then we see. We are all sad. Me, the club, the players, we are all there."
