Another Disaster for Chelsea: Injured Star Could Also Derail Brazil's Plans

Nineteen-year-old Estevao sustained the injury last week during Chelsea's 1-0 Premier League loss to Manchester United.

“Unfortunately, Estevao will not play for us again this season. He'll be sidelined for some time. It's a real misfortune, especially for someone so young and talented. But we are here to support him and look after him,” interim Chelsea manager Calum McFarlane was quoted as saying by AFP.

According to McFarlane, the Brazilian's participation in this year's World Cup is also in doubt: “To be honest, I'm not sure if he'll be fit by then. All I know is that he won't be available for our team. He's full of hope that he'll play in the championship.”
