EPL: Chelsea announce squad numbers for players ahead of 2026/2027 season

Chelsea have confirmed their official squad numbers ahead of the 2026/2027 season.

One of the biggest changes sees Joao Pedro taking the No. 9 shirt from Liam Delap.

Pedro only arrived at Stamford Bridge last season but enjoyed an impressive debut campaign, scoring 20 goals and providing nine assists across all competitions.

Delap will now wear the No. 12 shirt after managing just three goals in 47 appearances last season.

Wesley Fofana has inherited the No. 3 shirt previously worn by Marc Cucurella, who has moved to Real Madrid this summer.

Morgan Rogers, who arrived from Aston Villa, will wear the No. 17 shirt for Chelsea.

Mykhailo Mudryk has taken the No. 33 shirt after being cleared to return to action, vacating his old No. 10 shirt which is now held by Cole Palmer.
