Impact Estevao being out on the pitch again is a reassuring development after the hamstring problem that ended his first Chelsea campaign prematurely and ruled him out of Brazil's World Cup run. His continued presence in group sessions suggests the recovery process has gone smoothly, offering new coach Xabi Alonso a better sense of where he stands physically as preparations continue toward the Aug. 24 season opener at home to Fulham.

Impact Estevao's return to full training comes after a rapid recovery from the hamstring injury that ended his debut Chelsea season early and kept him out of Brazil's World Cup squad. His involvement suggests the recovery he detailed earlier this summer, when scans showed no visible remaining damage, has held up as expected. Manager Xabi Alonso's comments point to a measured approach as the winger builds back up, though he could still have a role to play as preseason progresses. Estevao is expected to build toward full match fitness ahead of Chelsea's Premier League opener against Fulham on Aug. 24.

Impact Estevao was left off Brazil's World Cup squad after suffering an injury during Chelsea's defeat to Manchester United on April 18, choosing against surgery despite pressure from Chelsea's medical staff and ownership, a decision made alongside his parents that appears to be paying off. The youngster is completing his rehabilitation at Palmeiras's training center in Brazil and has already been running, ending a debut Chelsea season with two goals and two assists across 22 appearances before the injury struck. His rapid recovery is an encouraging sign for Chelsea ahead of the new season despite the World Cup disappointment.

Not in WC preliminary list Estevao (hamstring) was left off Brazil's 55-man preliminary World Cup squad after medical staff from both the national team and Chelsea could not guarantee a full recovery in time...

Impact Estevao had been considered a certainty for Brazil's squad before suffering the right thigh muscle injury during Chelsea's defeat to Manchester United on April 18, and the decision to omit him from the preliminary list effectively ends his hopes of a debut World Cup appearance this summer. The young forward was reportedly visibly dejected when arriving at his former club Palmeiras for treatment last week, fully aware that his participation was unlikely. He ends the season with two goals and two assists across 22 appearances (12 starts) since joining Chelsea from Palmeiras for last summer.

Impact Estevao was already thought to be out for the season after suffering a hamstring injury, but that has now been confirmed by his manager, set to miss some time moving forward. More importantly for the young Brazilian, it will likely dash his hopes of a debut World Cup in 2026, needing a quick boost of health before the tournament starts in June. His season ends with two goals on 28 shots, and two assists on 16 chances created in 22 appearances (12 starts). He is now focused on recovery as he aims to make the Brazilian national team selection for the 2026 World Cup.

World Cup in doubt Estevao (hamstring) has suffered a grade four hamstring injury that puts his participation at the World Cup in serious doubt and is likely to bring his debut Chelsea season to an e...

Impact Estevao limped off in the 16th minute of Saturday's defeat to Manchester United, and the severity of the diagnosis represents a major blow both for Chelsea and for Brazil heading into the World cup in June. The winger has become a regular fixture in the national team setup under coach Carlo Ancelotti, earning 11 senior caps and scoring four goals in his last four appearances for Brazil. He joined Chelsea from Palmeiras last summer and had been establishing himself as a key figure in the attack before this setback. A grade four hamstring tear is among the most serious muscular injuries a player can sustain, making a recovery in time for the World Cup highly unlikely.

Impact Estevao was forced off against Manchester United with the hamstring problem, adding to what has been a frustrating season on the injury front for the young Brazilian. He only recently returned from a previous injury spell at the end of March, making this latest setback a significant concern for Chelsea's medical staff. The results of further testing will be critical in establishing a return timeline, with the severity of hamstring injuries varying widely. Alejandro Garnacho is among the options who could see increased minutes on the wing in his absence.

Picks up another injury Estevao was forced off in the first half of Saturday's match against Manchester United with a possible hamstring injury.

Impact It's yet another injury for Estevao, who only recently returned from injury at the end of March. He's missed a few periods of time this season due to injury and this one could keep him on the sidelines almost until the end of the campaign if it's confirmed to be hamstring related. Alejandro Garnacho came on for him and expects to get more time.

Scores and assists in win Estevao scored one goal and registered one assist in Saturday's 7-0 FA Cup quarterfinal win over Port Vale.

Impact Estevao cracked the starting XI for the first time since his hamstring injury and turned in one of the game's top individual showings, setting up Andrey Santos' 69th minute header off a corner before bagging Chelsea's sixth in the 82nd minute after pouncing on Alejandro Garnacho's shot off the post, with the goal initially waved off for offside before VAR gave it. He also rattled the woodwork twice in the second half and created four chances overall, ending the day with one goal and one assist across 82 minutes before coming off. Estevao is now up to seven goals and three assists in all competitions in his debut season with the Blues, and Saturday's outing was another reminder of how dangerous Chelsea can be when the youngster is firing on all cylinders.

On bench for UCL game Estevao (hamstring) is on the bench to face Paris Saint-Germain in UCL action Tuesday.

Impact Estevao returned to training earlier in the week and rejoined the squad in time for a crucial matchup. He hasn't played since Feb. 13, so he's likely to make a gradual comeback, offering backup behind Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer and Alejandro Garnacho on the wings.

Training ahead of PSG Estevao (hamstring) was spotted in training Monday and could be available for Tuesday's Champions League return leg against PSG, the club posted.

Impact Estevao could be available for Tuesday's Champions League return leg against PSG after training with the group Monday, having missed the last six matches due to a hamstring injury. The potential return of the Brazilian winger could be a major boost for his side, which needs to overturn a three-goal deficit, as his technical quality and dribbling ability could help unsettle the opposing defense, having scored three goals in seven Champions League appearances this season.

Impact Estevao will need to sit out yet another match as he recovers from his hamstring injury, with the club not ready to risk the attacker Saturday. That said, they are taking his return cautiously, making sure he suffers no further injury as he looks to find the field again. It appears he does have a chance of making the second leg of their tie against PSG in UCL play, still a tough ask with the game being played Tuesday.

Still not available Estevao (hamstring) is still battling an injury and won't be available for Wednesday's Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain, according to Football London.

Impact Estevao was not spotted in team training ahead of Wednesday's Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain as he continues to recover from the hamstring injury that has kept him out of the last four matches across all competitions. The Brazilian winger still does not have a clear return timeline, though the staff will be eager to get him back soon after he started four of his last five available games under coach Liam Rosenior. In the meantime, Pedro Neto is expected to take on a larger role in the front line until Estevao is back up to full speed.
