MEIRELES TAKES 16
Posted on: Thu 01 Sep 2011
Raul Meireles has taken the squad number 16 after his deadline day transfer from Liverpool.
The midfielder wore the number for Portugal at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, and regularly wears it on international duty.
The last Chelsea number 16 was Scott Sinclair, now with Swansea City, and the number was previously inhabited by both Arjen Robben and current assistant first team coach Roberto Di Matteo.
