Omeruo missing, Moses, Aina in as Chelsea release squad numbers for
2018/19 season
#MTNShortz3Sixtyworld
According to the updated squad list published on the official website
of Chelsea, Nigeria internationals Victor Moses and Ola Aina will keep
the jersey numbers they wore last season if they remain with the
London club at the end of the summer transfer window in exactly a
month’s time.
Moses, who will not train with Chelsea today due to his participation
in the ongoing World Cup, will retain the number fifteen jersey he
used last season when he reports for pre-season training before the
trip to Australia.
The right wing-back was allocated the number 13 jersey in his debut
season with Chelsea in 2012 but has played with the number 15 kit in
the last two seasons.
Ola Aina sported the number 34 jersey when he made his debut for the
Stamford Bridge outfit against Bristol Rovers in August 2016 and has
been handed that same number for pre-season.
Kenneth Omeruo’s name has not been added to Chelsea’s first-team
squad, fueling speculation that he is set to be farmed out on loan
before the window shuts, and if that is the case he will train with
Chelsea loanees when he reports for pre-season.
It is one hundred percent confirmed that the central defender has held
talks with Gent over a transfer this summer.
Omeruo insists he will be rejoining Chelsea for pre-season but has not
elaborated any further on his future with the London club.
“Except something happens so soon, I will be joining Chelsea for
pre-season. The future will take care of itself,” he said.
The defender played for Turkish top flight league side Kasimpasa on
loan from the Blues last season. It was his fifth loan spell away from
the Stamford Bridge side, adding to tenures at ADO Den Haag,
Middlesbrough and Alanyaspor.
