The Gunners' defender started the match, which is intended to raise money for Ukraine after Russia's invasion.
The Ukrainian star played his first minutes at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge since suffering an injury in May, leading his star-studded team out.
Arsenal supporters, though, exhaled a breath of relief when Zinchenko only 11 minutes remaining in the final 2-2 draw, he was substituted.
Zinchenko, although traveling with Arsenal on their US trip, did not play for them throughout preseason.
Since suffering a calf injury during the conclusion of last season, the Arsenal's left-back has been sidelined and missed three of the last three matches as the Gunners finished second in the Premier League.
The Community Shield matchup against Manchester City on Sunday is still up in the air, but Zinchenko may play.
