Chelsea have announced that Pedro Neto will change his shirt number from 19 to seven - which was previously worn by Raheem Sterling - for the remainder of the season.

Manager Enzo Maresca confirmed earlier on Wednesday that Sterling and Ben Chilwell are both training away from Chelsea's first-team squad.

Neto, who signed from Wolves earlier this month, wore the number 19 in Chelsea's loss to Manchester City on Sunday.

New signing Joao Felix will wear the number 14 - and the club have said numbers are subject to change up until the end of the transfer window.
