Chelsea captain Gary Cahill is hoping the size of the squad won't be a problem this season. mThe Premier League champions lost 4-1 on penalties to Arsenal in the Community Shield on Sunday after the game finished 1-1.
Cahill was the only Chelsea player to score from the spot and afterwards he pointed to the squad lists on the back of the match-day programme, which had 24 Chelsea players listed compared to 41 from Arsenal.
"I don't know, the back of the programme was interesting today," he said. "But in terms of quality we've certainly got that and you just have to hope we don't have too many injuries. Obviously the new players that have just come, they're going to be vitally important for us and the quicker they settle, the better, but there's no doubt we've added quality to the team."
