During this time, Chukwuemeka lost his number 17 shirt to Andrey Santos. As a result, he is currently without a designated shirt number at Chelsea.
It's worth noting that Chukwuemeka spent the second half of last season on loan with Borussia Dortmund. The club's chiefs have expressed their desire to extend his stay, but no agreement has been reached with Chelsea so far.
Chukwuemeka is now coming to terms with the possibility that his future at Stamford Bridge may not be with Chelsea.
