Former England goalkeeper Robert Green has announced his retirement from football.
The 39-year-old had been at Stamford Bridge for a year but did not make an appearance, although was in Baku for Wednesday's 4-1 Europa League final win over Arsenal.
Green started his career at Norwich and played for West Ham, Leeds and QPR while he also made 12 appearances for England.
He said in a statement: 'Following an incredible evening in Baku on Wednesday and after a 23-year career spanning three decades, I've decided that now is the right time to announce my retirement from professional football.
'Being part of the group and celebrations with such a special squad of players after winning the Europa League seems a fitting way to end what's been an amazing journey for me in the game.'

Chelsea legend? sorry but Rob was here for 1 season 🤦🏽♂️. Careful how you use the word legend, a legend is a player who has long served the club and left their mark and impact... Hazard is a Chelsea legend, not Rob Green. Unfortunately the only thing Rob will really be remembered for is his famous slip against a savable goal. He had a very Karius like Career and was brought in for the English quota. But I do wish him the best on his retirement. But hes as much a legend ar Chelsea as Danny Drinkwater is...
