Video: Chelsea loanee forgets shirt number during Ligue 1 clash

Chelsea loanee Tiemoue Bakayoko was left confused after he thought he was being subbed off in Monaco’s 3-0 win over Amiens at the weekend.

The 25-year-old, who is on loan at the Ligue 1 club from the Blues, forgot his own shirt number during the clash on Saturday.

The fourth official held up No 14 to leave the field of play, which was the number Bakayoko used to wear for Monaco before he made the switch to Stamford Bridge.

Monaco’s official Twitter account uploaded the clip of the incident with the caption: ‘When you carried the No 14 a little too long in your career [sic].’

The video shows Bakayoko, who wears the No 6 on the back of his shirt, heading towards the side of the pitch while applauding.

The midfielder did find the funny side of his error once he realised he no longer wears No 14.
Bakayoko headed back into his position on the pitch and the current owner of No 14 Keita Balde was replaced.
