Chelsea make decision on Estevao Willian’s future straight after being subbed off vs Leeds

The Brazilian started at Stamford Bridge against, but was subbed off after struggling to make an impact and Chelsea needing to turn the game around late on.

Chelsea to offer Estevao a new contract

Morgan Rogers’ three assists and Cole Palmer’s two goals helped them advance to the next round, however piled more doubt over where Estevao is going to feature in the upcoming games.

Despite a disappointing start to the campaign, it is clear that Chelsea still see the Brazil international as an important player, so much so that they are prepared to offer him a new contract at the club.

This is as per Flashscore, who say the club still have faith in the youngster, while there are no indications that he wants to leave Stamford Bridge either.

Chelsea fans have asked to see more of Estevao in the early stages of this season, after he came on and looked threatening in their only defeat of the season against Arsenal.

What a game! Where do you rank this new Chelsea attack as Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers shine again?

Leeds couldn’t handle them 🔥

Estevao could force Xabi Alonso into formation change

Bringing him into the starting side would likely force Xabi Alonso into a change of formation, and a move away from the back three he has used so far this season.

This would ask more questions of a defence and midfield which has already conceded 11 goals in all competitions, but add more firepower to an attack which has notched up 16 strikes.

A match against Hull City, where the opposition are expected to sit in a low block for large portions of the game, could be the perfect opportunity to trial the front four to play together for the first time.

However, the newly-promoted side cannot be underestimated. They currently sit third in the league, with a win under their belt already against Manchester United.
