Xabi Alonso explains Estevão's lack of minutes at Chelsea
Alonso admits the Brazilian would like to play more and insists he will get his chances, after an injury and in his second season in England.
Chelsea head coach Xabi Alonso has explained the situation of Estevão, who has seen little action in the team so far this season. According to Fabrizio Romano, Alonso understands the Brazilian may be unhappy because he wants more minutes, and he takes responsibility himself, saying the late changes in matches have been forced by circumstances.
Alonso points out that the Premier League is very intense and players must be ready for it. He also stresses that Estevão is in his second season at Chelsea and was recently out injured, so he expects the winger to have his moments soon.
