Story summary

Estevao, a young Brazilian player for Chelsea, scored one goal and set up another during Brazil's 2-0 victory over Honduras in Kolkata. This performance brings his tally to six goals in just under 14 senior appearances for the national team, potentially earning him more playing time with Chelsea. With key players such as Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro out due to injury or other commitments, Estevao could see increased action when Chelsea faces Bournemouth next weekend in the Premier League. Despite a challenging start to his season at Chelsea, Estevao remains focused on maximizing training opportunities and making the most of any chances he gets in matches.
