End of season confirmed
Estevao (hamstring) is done for the season, according to interim manager Calum McFarlane. "[He] unfortunately won't play for us this season. He will be out for a little bit of time. We're not sure how long he will be out for, but he certainly won't play for us again this season, unfortunately. That's really unfortunate for him, especially for someone so young and talented as he is, but we are here to support him and be around him."
Analysis: It's confirmed that Estevao will miss the rest of the season, which isn't surprising given recent reports. More importantly for the young Brazilian, it will likely dash his hopes of a debut World Cup in 2026, needing a quick boost of health before the tournament starts in June. His season ends with two goals on 28 shots, and two assists on 16 chances created in 22 appearances (12 starts). He is now focused on recovery as he aims to make the Brazilian national team selection for the 2026 World Cup.
World Cup in doubt
Estevao (hamstring) has suffered a grade four hamstring injury that puts his participation at the World Cup in serious doubt and is likely to bring his debut Chelsea season to an end, according to The Athletic.
Analysis: Estevao limped off in the 16th minute of Saturday's defeat to Manchester United, and the severity of the diagnosis represents a major blow both for Chelsea and for Brazil heading into the World cup in June. The winger has become a regular fixture in the national team setup under coach Carlo Ancelotti, earning 11 senior caps and scoring four goals in his last four appearances for Brazil. He joined Chelsea from Palmeiras last summer and had been establishing himself as a key figure in the attack before this setback. A grade four hamstring tear is among the most serious muscular injuries a player can sustain, making a recovery in time for the World Cup highly unlikely.
