Xabi Alonso, the manager of Chelsea Football Club, has denied reports of any internal issues with 19-year-old Brazilian winger Estevao Wilson, who has only made two substitute appearances in the Premier League this season, totaling 16 minutes of playing time. Estevao joined Chelsea in August 2025 and made 36 appearances last season, scoring eight goals. He has also earned 11 caps for the Brazilian national team, scoring five goals, and was widely expected to become a global football star. This season, Estevao made an impact in a Carabao Cup victory over Luton Town but has yet to feature in the Premier League, with no European matches on the horizon for Chelsea. According to a report by ESPN Brasil, Estevao has expressed concerns about his playing time at the club and the position he is expected to play when he does get on the field. The report suggests he prefers one of the central attacking roles currently occupied by Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers, rather than the right wing-back position that Pedro Neto has been playing. The report claims that Estevao is not getting enough opportunities in either of his preferred positions and may consider a move to another club if the situation does not improve. However, Alonso has dismissed these rumors, stating that Estevao is fully prepared and training well. The young winger is expected to get another chance in the Carabao Cup match against Leeds United later this week. Alonso emphasized that Estevao is a valued member of the team and has a strong work ethic and positive mindset when preparing for matches. He also noted that Estevao had a good impact and opportunity during the recent game against Arsenal. Alonso acknowledged that the season is long and that all players are committed to improving and developing their skills throughout the campaign. Estevao will be included in the lineup for the match against Leeds United, but two summer signings, Marco Palestra and Moises Caicedo, are still recovering from injuries. Alonso stated that they are not yet ready to return to action and that the club will take a cautious approach, managing their recovery on a game-by-game basis.
