Juan Cuadrado takes a legend's shirt number ahead of the new season

Chelsea have released their squad numbers ahead of Sunday's Community Shield, and while the Blues have been relatively quiet on the transfer front, there were a few changes of note, confirming what we had known since the start of preseason. Here's the full list, via the Chelsea website:

1 – Asmir Begovic
2 – Branislav Ivanovic
4 – Cesc Fabregas
5 – Kurt Zouma
6 – Nathan Ake
7 – Ramires
8 – Oscar
9 – Radamel Falcao
10 – Eden Hazard
11 – Juan Cuadrado
12 – John Mikel Obi
13 – Thibaut Courtois
14 – Bertrand Traore
18 – Loic Remy
19 – Diego Costa
20 – Victor Moses
21 – Nemanja Matic
22 – Willian
24 – Gary Cahill
26 – John Terry
27 – Jamal Blackman
28 – Cesar Azpilicueta
29 – Nathaniel Chalobah
34 – Ola Aina
35 – Dominic Solanke
36 – Ruben Loftus-Cheek
37 – Jake Clarke-Salter

Petr Cech's replacement, Asmir Begovic, has simply taken Cech's shirt number as well. Meanwhile, Radamel Falcao, who many fear will flop, takes over the infamous number 9 worn by numerous other less-than-impressive strikers in the past.

The only major change is Juan Cuadrado, who takes over the number 11 of Didier Drogba (and also Oscar), while Bertrand Traore has been handed the number 14 shirt. The number 3 of Filipe Luis is still vacant, but would seem to be a prime candidate to be filled when Chelsea find his replacement.
