"Estevao missed Chelsea's recent Carabao Cup tie against Cardiff City (Image credit: Getty Images) Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has issued an update on young Brazilian winger Estevao. The 18-year-old has burst onto the scene this season after making his long-agreed transfer from Palmeiras in the summer. While he has not yet become a regular starter, he has shown flashes of brilliance for the Blues, providing five goal contributions in 19 appearances so far, including three goals in the Champions League."
"After the final whistle, Maresca revealed that Estevao remains a doubt for his side's next game, a Premier League visit to Newcastle United. Estevao has a small muscular problem, the Chelsea head coach revealed. A light injury. He won't be available for Newcastle, but we will see for the next one. I think he can be available for the next one. Thankfully, Maresca has Neto, Tyrique George, Jamie Gittens, Garnacho, Facundo Buonanotte and Cole Palmer, who can all operate on that side."
