Mikel Urges Alonso to Give Estevao More Chelsea Minutes

Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has urged Xabi Alonso to involve teenager Estevao more regularly, amid reports that the young forward is frustrated by limited playing time. Mikel praised Estevao’s performances and said the club must manage his development carefully. He suggested that, even when the youngster does not start, he should be introduced more often in the second half. Estevao faces intense competition in Chelsea’s attack, with players including Cole Palmer, Morgan Rogers and Joao Pedro ahead of him. Mikel warned that Chelsea should avoid allowing a promising talent to become disillusioned and consider leaving.
