In the 33rd round of the Premier League, Chelsea welcomed Man United at home. Continuing to play weakly, coach Liam Rosenior's team lost with a score of 0-1. Extending their all-loss streak in the Premier League to 4 matches, The Blues are only ranked 6th and have difficulty getting a ticket to the Champions League next year.
Not only facing a bad result, Chelsea's squad also received bad news. In the first half of the match against Man United, striker Estevao Willian suffered a serious injury. After a sprint and collision, the Brazilian star painfully left the field in the first half.
It is still unknown how serious the injury was, but Estevao burst into tears afterwards. Chelsea coach Liam Rosenior confirmed this: "He was very depressed, crying throughout the half-time break.
This is not the first time Estevao has had a hamstring problem this season. Previously, he had missed many matches due to a similar injury, and the recurrence in the same position made the risk more serious.
At the age of 18, Estevao is in an important stage to develop both physically and professionally. However, repeated injuries can directly affect this player's progress, especially in a harsh environment like the Premier League.
For Chelsea, this is also a not small problem. The team is lacking stability in attack, and clearly they are lacking players capable of creating breakthroughs like Estevao.
