Many Chelsea supporters were waiting to know the shirt numbers assigned to the Blues. But this time, that’s it, as the London club finally announced the official list of players and their new lucky numbers on Tuesday. In the menu, numbers 7, 8, 10, 11 and even 26 were available, left free due to the mass departures of N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic and Kalidou Koulibaly.
Recently arrived Chelsea and already injured Christopher Nkunku will wear number 18 like RB Leipzig. Levi Colville would also get his beloved No. 26, John Terry’s iconic number, with the Blues. Nicolas Jackson would be number 15, as was the case with Villarreal at the time. Enzo Fernandez will now wear number 8, not 5, having been left free by Jorginho last winter. Mykhailo Mudrik, he has been rewarded for his beautiful summer tour by carrying the symbolic number 10. Wingers Raheem Sterling and Noni Maduke will wear numbers 7 and 11 respectively, with Mark Cukurella (#3), Andrey Santos (#20), Armando Broza (#19), Ian Mattson (#29) and Robert Sanchez (#31) Chose a new tunic. Finally, the French are also affected by these numerous number changes: Malo Gusto (n°27), Benoît Badiachile (n°5), Axel Desassi (n°2) and Leslie Ugochuwku (n°16). Good luck Blues supporters in choosing which player to flock to the back of their shirt!
