Chelsea face an uphill battle to qualify for next season’s Champions League, but the Blues will carry on that fight—at least for a little while—without teenage winger Estêvão.
The 18-year-old Brazilian has been a bright spark for Chelsea this season, scoring in three successive Champions League matches during the league phase. Consistent output is what his game currently lacks, something completely understandable for someone of his age. But it’s also worth noting that the team’s slide into freefall has coincided with his recent fitness troubles.
