Rosenior’s comments were short when asked about Estevao’s injury after the game at Stamford Bridge.
“He was devastated,” Rosenior said. “He was crying at half time. It looks like a hamstring.”
The Blues will hope it’s not a serious thing, as Estevao is one of the only Chelsea attackers look bright at the moment.
All-in-all, it’s been an impressive first season at Chelsea for the teenager who has five goals in 11 caps for Brazil with the World Cup on tap for this summer.
