As was swiftly pointed out in the replies, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is still very much Belgian, and expected to start between the sticks for Roberto Martinez's men against Panama.
Clearly, this was merely an oversight from whoever was tasked with running the club's social media channels on Monday morning. To some, however, it was a sign that Courtois' days were numbered at the London club.
The goalkeeper has been linked with a move away from Chelsea in recent months, especially with the team missing out on qualification for next season's Champions League. Failure to mention him in this tweet was seen by some as another sign he was set to depart.

The tweet was later deleted by Chelsea, who followed it with another one. This time, they remembered to include Courtois.
