Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca has confirmed that young Brazilian talent Estevao is ready to feature in consecutive matches, even as he continues to adapt to life in England.
“He’s ready to start, no doubt about that. But if he starts, someone else sits on the bench, and that player also wants to play,” Maresca explained.
Maresca also highlighted the ongoing adjustment to the English climate. “He was complaining about the cold last week, and it was only October. Wait until December and January! I told him, ‘it’s still warm,’” he said, adding a touch of humor.
Estevao’s fitness and readiness are especially important for Chelsea as the team faces a demanding schedule in the coming weeks. At the same time, Maresca’s remarks underline the challenges of managing a squad with multiple players competing for starting positions
