Chelsea players’ nicknames at Stamford Bridge and Cobham

Chelsea players and how they refer to each other during training and around the club.

Chelsea have been one of the most successful teams in Europe in recent decades and have a legion of followers around the world.

They also have players from all over the world, making the dressing room one of the most cosmopolitan.

The likes of N’Golo Kane and Azpilicueta are considered the senior members of the Chelsea team, but this does not stop them from being called by their nicknames.

And dressing rooms are close-knit places, so newcomers like Kalidou Koulibaly and Cucurella will already feel at home there.

Results under Graham Potter haven’t been the best, but it is unlikely to be long before they return to winning ways.

Despite an unhappy debut, receiving a red card in a 2-1 defeat at Fulham, the arrival of João Félix on loan from Atletico Madrid will be a boost. What will his teammates call him when he settles in? El Rojo (The Red), maybe?

One of the characters of the dressing room is Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who joined in the summer and who is another striker hoping things will pick up.

Below are the names and nicknames of some of the Chelsea players, some are straight forward, but some might come as a surprise.
