FIFA 22 Player Career Jersey Number Not Showing: The Fix

Check the Calendar to see when your player will next be called up to the national team
Right before the call-up date, drop all your skill points to 0 (so you don't get called up — if you do get called up, you'll have to start back from 0)
If you don't get called up, skip ahead from the calendar to any free date (if you had been called up, it would be better to skip ahead to the date of the national team match)
Go to your player, set your jersey number to the number you want, add all your skill points back, and save the game

Your issue should now be fixed.
