Brazilian forward Estevao's participation in the upcoming World Cup is uncertain following confirmation of a hamstring injury that rules him out for the remainder of the season.
The Chelsea player suffered the setback in last week's match against Manchester United, casting doubt over his recovery in time for the summer tournament spanning June and July.
Chelsea's interim coach, Calum McFarlane, refrained from setting a recovery timeframe but expressed regret at the sidelining of the talented 19-year-old. Estevao, who moved from Palmeiras to Chelsea last year, scored eight goals this season and impressed with five goals in his last six international appearances.
