Eden Hazard’s departure from the London club leaves them short of a key player but Willian will take over the Belgian’s old number.

The club has also announced the overall squad numbers.

Willian relinquishes the ’22’, a number he has worn at Stamford Bridge for five years. That number will be taken over by new American star Christian Pulisic, who also wore 22 at Borussia Dortmund.

Callum Hudson-Odoi, whose representatives had asked for the number ’10’ during contract negotiations, keeps the number ’20’ jersey.

The Blues are required to officially confirm their new numbers before Friday, August 9, 2019.
