Chelsea's transfer chaos hits home! Trevoh Chalobah starts in first game since recall from Crystal Palace - but is MISSING from matchday programme

The Blues brought Chalobah back from his season-long loan early after losing several other defenders to injury, with head coach Enzo Maresca citing the 25-year-old's familiarity with the club as a factor in their decision on how to rectify the issue, opting against signing a new centre-back outright.

Chalobah returned to Chelsea over the weekend and has immediately been thrust back into the fold, with Maresca naming him in Monday's starting lineup for the visit of Wolves. However, the decision to bring Chalobah back caught the club's editorial team off guard and he was not named among the hosts' players on the matchday programme.

Clubs sometimes keep loanees on their matchday programmes even while at other teams, but Chalobah's initial number 14 shirt was handed to summer recruit Joao Felix, leaving him without a registered digit. He has since been given the number 23, which was last worn by fellow academy graduate Conor Gallagher, who left for Atletico Madrid last August. Reports have claimed the Blues are reluctant to sell the defender before the summer window despite further transfer interest, and as such have slapped a £40 million price tag on him.

After Monday's visit of Wolves, Maresca's side will head to Manchester City on Saturday evening in a mouthwatering encounter in the face for Champions League qualification.
