“Estevão will not play again this weekend, he is still a bit far from being recovered. We want to be cautious with Estevão due to the nature of his thigh injury,” said the coach.

Estevão suffered a muscle injury in his left thigh. The expectation is that the athlete's recovery will be completed so that he is available to wear the Brazilian National Team jersey at the end of March.

The Brazilian joined Chelsea in July 2025. For the English club, Estevão has played 32 matches, scored seven goals, and made three assists.
