Chelsea’s future signing Estevao Willian has been seen hobbling off with what looked like a potentially bad ankle injury in action for Palmeiras last night.
The 17-year-old is considered a hugely exciting young talent and a big signing for the Blues, who have not yet brought him to Stamford Bridge as he remains with Palmeiras for a little while longer despite a future deal being in place.
Estevao has big potential and Chelsea fans will be eager to see him in action for their club, so this latest injury blow could be a real worry for them, as the player was clearly in real discomfort before being helped off the pitch…

Aparentemente sentiu o mesmo tornozelo que já havia machucado. Vamos aguardar para ver se é algo mais sério. #Palmeiras pic.twitter.com/c8JFvBDMyt

Estevao might well end up being alright, but for now this is surely something Chelsea fans will be eager for updates on, as it would be such a shame to see a potentially great career derailed by injury.
Chelsea have signed a number of the world’s best young players in recent times, with Kendry Paez and Aaron Anselmino also among talents from South America to head to west London in the future.
