The Ukrainian, 32, was not even on the bench for Sunday's Community Shield victory over Manchester �United at Wembley.
And the ex-AC Milan striker is set for another season on the sidelines under new boss Carlo Ancelotti.
But Shevchenko has turned his back on the prospect of first-team football to stay in west London.
He said: “I still have a year left on my �contract with Chelsea and I want to stay in London until it �expires. Only God knows what's �going to �happen then.”
Meanwhile, a �sensational return to Arsenal by Patrick Vieira looks dead with the French midfielder set to stay at Inter Milan.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has refused to rule out a move for his former skipper and Vieira was thought to be keen on a reunion.
But the 33-year-old is ready to pledge his future to Jose �Mourinho's side ahead of the new Serie A season.
Vieira has also been linked with a move to the Gunners' north London rivals Tottenham.
