Christian Pulisic has a brand new club this season with new teammates and new surroundings. One thing that won’t be new is the number on the back of his shirt.
Chelsea confirmed on Saturday that Pulisic will don the same No. 22 that he wore during his time at Borussia Dortmund.
There was speculation that he could be handed the famous No. 10 shirt vacated by Eden Hazard. That honor has been given to the previous owner of Pulisic’s No.22, Willian.
It’s obviously a minuscule talking point of a player’s career, but I’m happy that Pulisic wasn’t given the No.
