Oleksandr Zinchenko has issued a warning to Mykhailo Mudryk not to replicate his heroics for Ukraine in their match against Malta when Arsenal faces Chelsea this weekend.
Both players are part of the Ukraine national team and share a strong relationship. Arsenal had hoped that this connection might help them secure Mudryk’s signing last January. However, he ultimately joined Chelsea and has encountered difficulties since his transfer to the West London club.
Arsenal is set to face Chelsea this weekend, and the match coincides with Mudryk hitting top form since arriving in the Premier League. Consequently, he poses a significant threat to Arsenal and may look to make an impact against them.
His fine goal against Malta will fill him with confidence ahead of the game, but Zinchenko said, as quoted by Metro Sport:
‘I told him… ‘if you do or attempt to do that on Saturday, I’ll rip your balls off’.
‘But the most important thing for us was to take three points. I am very happy for him and for the national team, Mykhailo’s goal was important because he calmed down the game a little.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
Mudryk is one of the top players at Chelsea and he would also want to do well against us and prove he made the right move.
But we trust our defenders to do well against him in the game and limit his performance.

Whatever confidence that Mykhailo Mudryk could have in himself. After his heroic goal for his country Ukraine in a Euro 2024 nations qualifier match,
in the actual fact of things as concern the next Saturday’s Epl big game match encounter between Chelsea and Arsenal at Stanford Bridge. Honestly, I can’t and I don’t see Mudryk constituting any threat whatsoever to Arsenal in the match in terms of goals scoring or providing assists even pre-assists as well.
For, the now improved Arsenal game playing match defending in the Epl is more than capable to deal with any Chelsea player threats in the game including Mudryk to prevent them from wrecking a havoc against Arsenal. And I thinly that what the Arsenal general match defending in the match will do stopping Chelsea from scoring on the night.
While on the Arsenal side in the match, a solitary 1 goal or 2 goals scored by the Gunners in the match, which I am confident they will. Will see the match done for us.
With the kind of speed the two Chelsea wingers have in Sterling and Mudryk i hope arteta will choose Tomiyasu to play as a left back to nullify Raheem because Zinchenko will totally get outrunned in that wing.
Mudryk seems to be coming into form which is bad for Arsenal. Not only Mudryk but Chelsea as a whole are coming back into playing well. But I expect Arsenal to take the game to Chelsea and win given our talent, experience and quality.
