Estevao expresses concern over limited playing time at Chelsea

Chelsea winger Estevao Willian is reportedly unsettled regarding his role under manager Xabi Alonso. Since the arrival of Alonso, Chelsea has shifted to a 3-4-2-1 formation that does not feature traditional wingers. New signing Morgan Rogers has started in the advanced roles alongside Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro for both Premier League matches this season. Estevao has been limited to seven minutes of play across these opening fixtures. While the 19-year-old remains interested in staying at the club, he is evaluating his options ahead of the January transfer window. Liverpool showed interest in the Brazilian international late in the most recent transfer window as they looked for a natural right-sided option.
