Chelsea players were happy to welcome new teammate Mykhaylo Mudryk onto the training pitch on Wednesday.

The Ukraine international headed out to the pitches alone before being joined by Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who placed his arm around Chelsea's latest signing. They were soon joined by an enthusiastic Bashir Humphrey who helped greet Mudryk onto the pitches. Loftus-Cheek, who returned to Chelsea's first team squad at the weekend following injury, looked to provide some reassurance and conversation.

As they walked across the training pitches it appeared that Mudryk said: "I'm free now." With Loftus-Cheek returning with a laugh: "Now you're free."

In released footage from the club, Mudryk looked lively competing with Chelsea's first team stars and produced a fine finish in the shooting element of the session. He produced a flick over his head in between drills and combined for some nice passing to receive praise from the coaching staff who made sure to check in on him during his outing.

The youngster even received a pat on the shoulder from Hakim Ziyech when they returned to the building following training.
