Thomas Tuchel has brutally informed three Chelsea players they are no longer involved in his first-team plans by leaving them without a squad number for the upcoming campaign

With no shirt number for the 2022–23 season, three forgotten Chelsea wonderkids are all ready to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer transfer window.

Billy Gilmour, Ethan Ampadu, and Kenedy were all passed over by Blues manager Thomas Tuchel when formulating plans for the upcoming season after underwhelming in preseason. The club will now consider bids for the rejected trio.

The Evening Standard reports that Gilmour is considering his options after a disappointing loan season at Norwich City last year, and another short-term move is not out of the question. He is still eager to travel to Goodison Park with Everton, according to his former manager Frank Lampard.

Enduring relegation from Serie A with Venezia last term, Ampadu is a reported target for fellow Italian strugglers Spezia, who are monitoring his ongoing situation with keen interest. Whilst Kenedy is understood to be eyeing a move back to his homeland following a loan spell at Flamengo during the previous campaign.

Though Armando Broja and Michy Batshuayi have both been handed shirt numbers by Tuchel, which are yet to be unveiled, as the Chelsea boss is unconvinced as to who will begin the season as his starting forward.
