Any way to get .mkv working on Adobe Premiere Pro ?

I need to export a clip from a 22GB 1080p50 .mkv file, and I would like to NOT convert this huge file into mp4 for a 10 second clip, is there any way I can get it to work? I saw they dropped the support but there has to be a way if they did support it in the past? Thanks for the replies!
