Chelsea have confirmed that new signing Djordje Petrovic will wear the no. 28 on his back this season.
The Serbian joined Chelsea from MLS side New England Revolution on a £14m deal, signing a seven-year contract.
The 23-year-old will compete with Robert Sanchez, who took up the no. 1 following Kepa's loan move to Real Madrid.
The previous holder of the no. 28 is Chelsea legend Cesar Azpilicueta.
"I’m very happy to wear number 28 and I know it means a lot at this club," Petrovic told the club's website, referencing the former captain.
"I asked for number 99 originally [he wore it for New England] but I was told it was too high for the Premier League. I saw what was available after that and I liked the look of the No.28 jersey."
