Liam Rosenior explains Estevão’s absence from Chelsea match

Liam Rosenior, Chelsea's coach, explained why Estevão was left out of the match against Burnley in the English Championship this Saturday. The Brazilian had been standing out and scored in the last FA Cup game against Hull City.

During training, Estevão felt pain in the hamstring and, because of this, the coaching staff decided to rest the player. Rosenior stated that the athlete is under observation, undergoing tests to reassess the issue.
