CHELSEA fans are fuming after their third kit appeared to be leaked on FIFA 23 before being officially unveiled.
Despite being well into the season, the Blues have still not released their new third strip.
Eager fans keen to see the kit now seem to have got a sneak peak thanks to one popular video game.
Ahead of FIFA 23’s traditional end of September release date, a few images of the game were leaked.
But in-game snaps of Chelsea have revealed their eye-catching gold kit, which has yet to be officially revealed.
The pictures showed an animated Kai Havertz and N’Golo Kante donning the alternate third kit.

Annoyed Chelsea fans took to social media as a club kit appeared to be leaked for the second time in recent years.
One said: “No wonder it’s nearly October and still haven’t released the third kit. Club is a shambles.”
Another added: “We’re so unserious.”

A Blues fan also said: “We’ve come to a point where the club can’t be a***d to do the bare minimum.”
Some fans seemed to like the strip based on design, but one added that it was “just bizarre it’s not even been announced yet.”

Chelsea fans can look forward to finally seeing their gold kit in real life in the coming weeks.
