Hmmm...

Sky Sports say number 6.

Chelseafc.com say number 2.

I guess Sky can take their number 6 and shove it up their lose, bald a*ses.

Sky is the only place I've seen it suggested that Ivanovic gets the #6 shirt. Clearly a typo/mistake from Sky. You can't change a squad number in the middle of the season, can you? From the official site:

The new owner of the number 2 shirt also discussed his evolution as a player.

forget about the number, Sky have him down as a midfielder? I thought he could play there if needed (kind of like how essien can play RB if needed) but he was mainly a utility comewhere across the back 4

Scott

I don't like the No9 being worn by a midfielder (Or defender before - Boula)

Some legends have worn that shirt and it should be reserved for a forward.
