The Ukrainian, who joined from Chelsea on loan on deadline day, is expected to be out until after the international break.
A photograph has emerged seemingly of Mudryk, 25, wearing what appears to be a protective boot on his left foot.

Mudryk is now set to miss Saturday’s home game to Everton.

The move came just weeks after the winger returned from a 20-month ban for returning an “adverse finding” of the banned substance meldonium.
