Chelsea's January signing Matt Miazga pulled on the blue shirt for the first time on Friday night as the Under 21 beat Leicester 2-1.
The US centre-back has not made a competitive appearance since November due to the end of the season in America, but has been building his fitness at the club's Cobham training ground.
The 20-year-old signed a four-and-a-half-year deal at the Premier League champions at the end of the transfer windows after two years at MLS side New York Red Bulls.

The 20-year-old played the full 90 minutes as Chelsea stretched their unbeaten league run to six games
He finally made his Blues bow at Aldershot on Friday night as the Under 21 stretched their unbeaten league run to six games with victory over Leicester.
Miazga was first included in a Chelsea matchday squad in the Champions League first leg trip to PSG in February, but has yet to be thrown into the action by Guus Hiddink.
The American started in a back three alongside Dion Conroy and Jake Clarke-Salter, and they made a far from ideal start as Jon Dodoo fired the visitors ahead after 20 minutes.
Headed goals either side of half-time Clarke-Salter and Reece Mitchell ensured Adi Viveash's side took all three points.
Victory puts Chelsea fourth in the table, ahead of Everton by two points but trailing Manchester City by the same margin.
