Chelsea assigns Cole Palmer No10 amid Mudryk suspension for Club World Cup

News summary

Chelsea midfielder Cole Palmer will switch from the No.20 to the iconic No.10 shirt starting with the 2025/26 season and debuting the number at the FIFA Club World Cup in the United States. The number 10 was previously worn by Mykhailo Mudryk, who is currently provisionally suspended due to a failed drug test, leaving his future at Chelsea uncertain. Palmer, who joined Chelsea from Manchester City in 2023 for £40 million, has quickly established himself as a key player and will potentially wear the shirt for the first time against Los Angeles FC on June 16. Additionally, Chelsea's new signing Liam Delap, who arrived from Ipswich Town for £30 million, will wear the No.9 jersey. The club emphasized that squad numbers for the season are subject to change until the summer transfer window closes. The No.10 shirt has a prestigious history at Chelsea, having been worn by notable players such as Eden Hazard, Christian Pulisic, Willian, Joe Cole, and Juan Mata.
