Estevao, the talented Brazilian starlet of Chelsea, is currently on compassionate leave in Brazil due to personal issues. His absence has raised concerns among fans as he has been a standout player for the club, showcasing impressive skills on the field.
Rosenior’s Support for Estevao
Chelsea’s manager, Rosenior, spoke about Estevao’s situation ahead of the crucial EFL Cup semi-final against Arsenal. He emphasized that there is no pressure for the young player to return prematurely. “He is a young kid who has come and been magnificent,” Rosenior stated. He acknowledged that Estevao is facing personal challenges that require understanding and patience from the club.
Rosenior further mentioned, “It has to be right for him, and he has to feel in the right place to perform for this team.” His supportive attitude highlights the club’s commitment to their players’ well-being.
Upcoming Matches and Team Adjustments
Due to Estevao’s leave, fellow young player Jamie Gittens has stepped up in the starting lineup. Chelsea fans are hopeful for Gittens to fill the gap left by Estevao in what is anticipated to be a challenging match against Arsenal.
- Estevao is the second-youngest player for Chelsea to score and assist in a Premier League game.
- He marked this achievement during a 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace.
- Prior to his leave, he played a crucial role in Chelsea’s 3-2 win against Napoli in the Champions League.
Looking Ahead
Estevao was instrumental in the earlier match against Arsenal and will be missed as the team aims for its first silverware under Rosenior’s management. Currently, his focus remains on dealing with his personal matters, with hopes to return for Chelsea’s upcoming league match against Wolverhampton, who sit at the bottom of the table.
