Liam Rosenior has shared how Chelsea star Estevao Willian cried following an injury setback in the 1-0 defeat to Manchester United.

It is the latest setback for the Blues in their pursuit of a top-five finish and Champions League football next season.

While Enzo Fernandez, captaining the side yesterday after an internal two-game suspension, was also forced off with a worrying calf problem.

The injury for Estevao could put his appearance at this summer’s World Cup with Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil at risk.

“He was crying at half time; it was really devastating for him,” Rosenior said, with Chelsea four points off fifth-placed Liverpool, who have a game in hand.

“It looks like it's his hamstring and that has happened in a moment when he's running through on their goal for a one-v-one chance – he pulls his hamstring in that moment. I hope Este comes back sooner rather than later.”

While Fernandez could return sooner, with the hope that it was just cramp, though he is now a major doubt for Tuesday’s clash with Brighton.

“I just saw him in the dressing room – I think it was his calf,” Rosenior said, with Fernandez seen rolling off the pitch after going down in the closing stages of the match.
