Chelsea boss: No deadline for Estêvão’s return, still in Brazil | OneFootball

Chelsea coach Liam Rosenior stated this Monday (2) that he will not rush the return of Estêvão, who traveled to Brazil for personal reasons and missed the team’s match over the weekend.

Forward will remain out against Arsenal

The young 18-year-old forward will also not be included in the squad for the second leg of the English League Cup semifinal against Arsenal this Tuesday (3), with the ‘Blues’ needing to overturn a 3-2 home defeat from the first leg.

“He is going through a really difficult time for personal reasons and has been released due to force majeure,” Rosenior said at a press conference.

“I’m not going to pressure him. Everything has to be right for him and he needs to feel that he is in a condition to perform well,” added the coach, without giving details about the reasons for the player’s trip to Brazil.

Chelsea maintains good form even without Estêvão

Without Estêvão, Chelsea came from behind to beat West Ham 3-2 last Saturday in the English Premier League, continuing Rosenior’s run of good results.

Since the arrival of the new coach three weeks ago, the team has won six of the seven matches it has played. The only defeat in this period was precisely the one suffered against Arsenal in the League Cup.
