Mykhailo Mudryk slammed by influencer Joey Swoll for mocking old man on Instagram

Chelsea star Mykhailo Mudryk has been called out by fitness influencer Joey Swoll after filming a man in the gym.

The 22-year-old posted a video to his Instagram of an elderly gentleman using a rowing machine in the gym.

However, Mudryk's video appeared to try poking fun at the fact that the man's trousers had fallen down.

A blurred-out box covered the wardrobe malfunction, alongside a question mark.

It has led to the Chelsea star getting slammed on social media sites, including from TikTok star Joey Swoll [real name Sergo], who has 6.7 million followers on the platform.

"So you see that man at the gym, working hard, trying to better himself, with a trainer," he said.

"He's in an embarrassing situation where, yes, he's a little exposed.

"And you decide: 'Hey, let me take a video of it to post on social media to make fun of him', all for attention.

"Really? Pardon my language, but what the f*** is wrong with you?

"You're a professional soccer player, you play for Chelsea in the Premier League!

"Is this really how you want to represent yourself and your team?"

The clip has gone viral with over 2 million views on Twitter and over 1 million on TikTok.

Mudryk has since deleted the post on his Instagram page but neither he nor Chelsea have made a comment.

The winger has not had the greatest starts to life in the Premier League after a potentially £80m move from Shakhtar Donetsk in January.

In 16 appearances in all competitions, the youngster has yet to score but has grabbed two assists.

Chelsea interim coach Frank Lampard has started Mudryk just three times since arriving to replace Graham Potter as boss.

Ahead of the impending arrival of Mauricio Pochettino, the Ukraine international will have high hopes to make a bigger impact next season.
