Estevao has been ruled out of Chelsea’s Premier League match against West Ham on Saturday due to personal reasons.
The 18-year-old started in Chelsea’s 3-2 win away to Napoli in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
But he has been left out of Liam Rosenior’s squad for Saturday’s game at Stamford Bridge in order to travel back to Brazil.
Rosenior has made seven changes from the victory against Napoli with Benoit Badiashile, Trevor Chalobah, Jorrel Hato, Jamie Gittens, Alejandro Garnacho, Cole Palmer and Liam Delap all handed starts against West Ham.
West Ham have made just one change from their 3-1 win at home to Sunderland last weekend with Malick Diouf returning at left-back for Oliver Scarles.
Adama Traore, who completed his move from Fulham earlier this week, is named as a substitute.
