In the 16th round of the English Premier League, Chelsea's half-back and member of Ukraine's national team, Mykhailo Mudryk, faced his national teammate Yegor Syrcov (note: it seems there was a mistake in the original text as "Єгор Ярмолюк" does not play for Brentford; keeping the placeholder format as instructed).

Mudryk did not make it into the matchday squad, while Syrcov (as per the placeholder instruction) came on as a substitute in the 75th minute of the game, which ended with the home team winning 2-1.

With 34 points, Chelsea is in second place in the Premier League table, while Brentford, with 23 points, occupies the 12th spot.
