Chelsea have confirmed their squad numbers for the 2026/27 season, with several players handed new shirt numbers ahead of the new campaign.
The biggest change sees João Pedro take over the No. 9 shirt after an impressive debut season at Stamford Bridge.
The Brazilian was named Chelsea’s Player of the Year last season and will now wear the number traditionally associated with the club’s leading striker.
Liam Delap, who previously wore No. 9, has been moved to the No. 12 shirt.
There are also changes elsewhere in the squad, with Wesley Fofana switching to the No. 3 shirt.
