Super Eagles midfielder and UEFA Champions League winner Mikel Obi retained his number 12 jersey after his club-side released a revised player jersey numbering for the much awaited 2012/2013 football season.
Chelsea’s official website reveals that Jose Bosingwa and Solomon Kalou’s shirt numbers have been assigned to new players.
Didier Drogba’s jersey number 11 has not been assigned to any player yet.
“The three summer additions to the squad have been given their shirt numbers for the forthcoming season.
Kevin De Bruyne will wear 14, a number that was unused last campaign. Eden Hazard will take the 17 previously worn by Jose Bosingwa and Marko Marin is our new number 21 following the departure of Salomon Kalou.” According to Chelsea FC official website.
Mikel, Chelsea’s new signings and the rest of the squad are scheduled to fly to the United States on Saturday to beginning their pre-season tour.
