Estevao forced Chelsea into an early substitution during their Premier League match against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge after sustaining a hamstring injury. Depending on the seriousness of this setback, it could prematurely end his season.
The Brazil international lasted barely a quarter of an hour before having to be replaced by Alejandro Garnacho. Estevao's replacement came on to face his former club for the first time.
This latest setback comes barely a month after returning from a muscle injury. The 18-year-old missed half a dozen matches with that last issue, and Chelsea only have six more games to go.
Estevao made his first Premier League start for two months against Manchester City last weekend, but now faces another spell on the sidelines. There is also less than two months to go before this summer's World Cup.
