Chelsea Wonderkid Estevao Out for Months as World Cup Dream Slips Away
Chelsea’s 18-year-old forward suffered a serious hamstring tear just 16 minutes into a match against Manchester United. Scans confirmed a grade four injury that will sideline him for three to six months. The setback comes as Brazil finalizes its squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Estevao had scored four goals in his last four national team appearances. Manager Liam Rosenior revealed the player was in tears at half-time. Coach Carlo Ancelotti now faces a selection headache. Neymar could return to fill the attacking void. Estevao will focus on rehabilitation as his rapid rise is put on hold.
