EPL: Maresca strips Sterling of No.7 shirt, Joao Felix to wear No. 14
Chelsea winger, Raheem Sterling, has been stripped of his No. 7 shirt.
According to Sky Sports, new signing Pedro Neto has been handed the No. 7 shirt this season.
The decision comes with the Blues willing to listen to offers for Sterling.
Sterling wore the No. 17 after his move from Manchester City two years ago and switched to No. 7 last season.
Neto wore the No. 19 shirt when he made his debut against Manchester City on Sunday.
Meanwhile, new signing Joao Felix will wear the No. 14 shirt, which belonged to Trevoh Chalobah.
Chalobah has been told in face-to-face talks that he is not in head coach Enzo Maresca’s plans for next season.
Felix wore the No. 14 shirt on loan at Barcelona last season. He had the No. 11 shirt when he was on loan at Chelsea 18 months ago.
