Thomas Tuchel has come to a conclusion on the future of Trevoh Chalobah following Chelsea's apparent agreement with Leicester City for the signing of Wesley Fofana. Since the Foxes defender has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge, the Cobham graduate seemingly faced an increasingly uncertain future in west London.
He was dropped for Sunday's 2-2 Premier League draw with Liverpool but returned to training after talks with boss Thomas Tuchel. Trevoh Chalobah is out injured and fellow-centre back Andreas Christensen is a doubt, but striker Timo Werner could feature after a few weeks out.
The midfielder has opted to take up the No.8, the number he wears at international level for Croatia, leaving the 17 vacant for the current campaign. Tino Anjorin is another player to take up a new number, moving to 27, while Trevoh Chalobah will wear the 14 shirt previously owned by Fikayo Tomori.
