Chelsea have taken the No.10 shirt away from Mykhaylo Mudryk (Getty) Chelsea have given Cole Palmer the No.10 shirt, previously worn by Mykhailo Mudryk, for the Club World Cup this summer. Palmer has worn the No.20 shirt for Chelsea ever since his £42.5 million move from Manchester City two years ago. Mudryk, meanwhile, was handed Chelsea’s No.10 shirt when he joined Stamford Bridge in a £88.5m deal from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2023. But with Mudryk provisionally suspended after failing a doping test in October, Chelsea have stripped the Ukraine international of his No.10 jersey and have handed it to Palmer ahead of their Club World Cup campaign. A statement from Chelsea on Thursday read: ‘Chelsea can confirm Cole Palmer will move to the No.10 shirt ahead of our 2025/26 campaign, starting from the FIFA Club World Cup. Cole Palmer has worn the No.20 shirt since his arrival at Chelsea (Getty) ‘Palmer, who has worn the No.20 shirt since signing from Manchester City in September 2023, will make the switch ahead of our participation in the US-based tournament and could wear 10 for the first time when the Blues face Los Angeles FC in Atlanta on June 16.’ Chelsea’s Club World Cup tournament begins against Los Angeles FC on June 16. Enzo Maresca’s side will then play Flamengo on June 20 before finishing their Group D campaign against ES Tunis on June 20. Chelsea have also confirmed that Liam Delap will be given the No.9 shirt. The 22-year-old, who scored 12 goals in the Premier League this season, has joined from Ipswich Town after Chelsea triggered his £30m relegation release clause. Delap is also eligible to play for Chelsea at the Club World Cup this month. For more stories like this, check our sport page.
