Chelsea target Nabil Fekir has been left out of the Lyon squad to play the Blues in a pre-season friendly on Tuesday night as the Frenchman refuses to rule out a late switch to Stamford Bridge.
Fekir has been the subject of heavy speculation all summer linking him with a move away from Ligue 1.
He looked poised to move to Liverpool before the World Cup started but issues in his medical brought that deal to a standstill. Fekir only returned to pre-season training in the last few days following his role in France's World Cup winning campaign.
