Chelsea starletâs season over but key duo could return from injury
Chelsea interim head coach Calum MacFarlane revealed that Estevao Willianâs season is over after suffering a hamstring injury.
The Blues head to Wembley on Sunday to face Leeds United in the FA Cup semi-finals, with kickoff scheduled for 3pm BST.
They will have to do so without Estevao after the Brazilian winger was forced off against Manchester United last week. It is hoped, however, that Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro will return to the fold this weekend. Palmer missed the Brighton game because of a minor injury, while Pedro was absent for the defeats against the Red Devils and the Seagulls.

âWeâre not sure how long he will be out for but he certainly wonât play for us again this season, unfortunately.
âThatâs really unfortunate for him, especially for someone so young and talented as he is but we are here to support him and be around him.
