Ghana international Baba Rahman was surprisingly omitted from Chelsea squad that defeated Liverpool 1-0 in the International Champions Cup.
Gary Cahill's goal was the difference between the two at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
New Chelsea coach Antonio Conte decided to use only 14 players, which did not include the former Ausburg defender, in the pre-season friendly.
The left-back who has shown signs of improvement since Conte's appointment was named as part of the squad for the US pre-season tour.
But his surprise omission from the first match is expected to cast doubts over his stay at the club with Italian side Napoli and German giants Dortmund said to be keen on taking Baba on loan.
He will hope to feature in the Blues subsequent Champions Cup game.
