Estevao suffered a grade four hamstring injury in the defeat against Manchester United last month, and was ruled out for the remainder of the season.

No disagreement between Chelsea and Estevao over surgery

There had been reports Chelsea were playing hard ball over Estevao returning to Brazil for his rehabilitation, but that’s not believed to be the case.

It’s unclear whether Estevao will undergo surgery, with there some suggestions there’s been a disagreement over that between the 19-year-old and Chelsea.

However, Football.London have reported there’s no disagreement between Chelsea and Estevao over whether he requires surgery or not.

The report adds there’s an agreed plan with Chelsea, which will see Estevao spend some time back in Brazil for his rehabilitation.
