Rosenior gives injury updates on four Chelsea stars ahead of Brighton clash
Estevao will miss Chelsea’s game against Brighton on Tuesday after being forced off in the defeat to Manchester United on Saturday.
The Brazilian winger was taken off on in the first half with what looked to be a hamstring injury.
His club and international team-mate Joao Pedro, meanwhile, will be a late decision after missing the Manchester United game.
Enzo Fernandez has been passed fit to play, however.
“Joao will be a late call,” Rosenior said.
“He was out on the pitch today and we’ll make a decision on him tomorrow morning, so that’s good, positive, because he’ll be back sooner rather than later.
“Este, he’s definitely out for tomorrow, which is a real shame and we’re doing our further tests and investigation into his injury and Enzo is absolutely fine.”
