‘And they said we had a big squad’. Social media mocked Chelsea's new team photo

Chelsea's transfer policy last summer turned the team's personnel situation into an absurdity. It was reported that as many as 45 players are in the camp of ‘pensioners’, but the new Chelsea team photo shows that this is far from true.
Thus, 29 players are lined up in front of the camera, and this is what has become the subject of ridicule from fans.
Some point out that the players are too few, emphasising ‘Only 29 players and they said we had a big squad’. Some also think that apparently the rest of the players will be photographed separately from the team.
Also, social networks have already speculated what the photo would look like if it included all 45 Chelsea players.
This season Chelsea have won two games, drawn one and lost one, finishing eighth in the Premier League table with seven points.
Enzo Maresca's side are five points behind leaders Manchester City and will return to the Premier League this weekend when they host London rivals West Ham United on Saturday afternoon.
