The outlook for young Brazilian winger Estevao Willian at Chelsea is becoming increasingly concerning. In Saturday's match against Everton, he did not step onto the pitch at all, remaining on the bench (Giovanni Kenda came on instead), and just a week earlier against Bournemouth, he barely featured.
It’s worth noting that prior to the international break, there was considerable media speculation regarding the player’s dissatisfaction with his lack of game time under Xabi Alonso. After a standout debut season, which was unfortunately cut short by injury, Estevao had hoped for a more prominent role this term.
Xabi Alonso has previously dismissed rumours of the Brazilian's discontent, asserting that Estevao remains a key part of the club's long-term plans.
The main challenge for Estevao lies in Chelsea's impressive triumvirate of forwards, with the team consistently racking up victories.
At the club, there's hope that the player understands the importance of cup matches and the team’s aspirations to return to European competitions next year. However, experts suggest that the current situation could lead Estevao to contemplate a move away in the coming months.
