According to The Athletic, Chelsea is refusing to play Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang due to the high bonus appearance fee in his contract.

The Blues reportedly believe there’s no point spending so much on a player that won’t be at the club next season.

The report adds: “Aside from sporting reasons, there has always been a financial incentive for Chelsea to leave him out given he has a high bonus appearance fee written into his contract. The club have little to gain from selecting a man who will not be with them next season.”
