Estevao returned home to South America on compassionate leave at the end of last week but returned within two days to make himself available at Emirates Stadium.

Palmer did not start against Arsenal as he has his minutes managed carefully this season.

Speaking on Thursday, Rosenior was asked if Estevao and Cole Palmer can play 90 minutes.

"Yes,” replied the Chelsea head coach.

Rosenior has also revealed that Reece James and Pedro Neto face late fitness tests ahead of the Wolves games.

James and Neto missed the Arsenal game what Rosenior described as a “small knocks”.

On James and Neto, Rosenior said: "Don’t know yet. We had training today, which was a recovery day for the lads who played. We’ll check them tomorrow and make a decision then.

Jamie Gittens is facing a long spell out after tearing his hamstring.

Rosenior said: "Jamie is looking a little bit more long term. He’s got a tear in his hamstring, which is a real shame.

“That’s going to be a big miss for us. It’s too early to say [how long]."
