Estevao Willian was missing from Chelsea’s squad in the win over West Ham at the weekend due to flying home to Brazil.
Chelsea have relied heavily on Estevao Willian at times this season, despite him being just 18.
And he gave Liam Rosenior a glimpse of exactly what Estevao is capable of against Crystal Palace recently, grabbing a goal and an assist.
He continues to grab the spotlight whenever he plays for Chelsea. Even when he doesn’t score or assist.
The perfect example is his performance against Arsenal, where he completely tore one of the Premier League’s best defenders, Jurrien Timber, apart.
But now Chelsea are having to make do without him.
