Ahead of today's Community Shield encounter against Arsenal at Wembley, the West Londoners have confirmed that Radamel Falcao, who arrived at Stamford Bridge on a season-long loan deal from Monaco, has been handed the number nine shirt.

Meanwhile, fellow new arrival - goalkeeper Asmir Begovic - has taken the number one shirt, with Thibaut Courtois having retained the number 13 jersey.

Another change of note has seen Colombian winger Juan Cuadrado inherit the number 11, which was previously worn by Didier Drogba.
