Scores and assists in win
Estevao scored one goal and registered one assist in Saturday's 7-0 FA Cup quarterfinal win over Port Vale.
Analysis: Estevao cracked the starting XI for the first time since his hamstring injury and turned in one of the game's top individual showings, setting up Andrey Santos' 69th minute header off a corner before bagging Chelsea's sixth in the 82nd minute after pouncing on Alejandro Garnacho's shot off the post, with the goal initially waved off for offside before VAR gave it. He also rattled the woodwork twice in the second half and created four chances overall, ending the day with one goal and one assist across 82 minutes before coming off. Estevao is now up to seven goals and three assists in all competitions in his debut season with the Blues, and Saturday's outing was another reminder of how dangerous Chelsea can be when the youngster is firing on all cylinders.
Available in FA Cup
Estevao will be available to face Port Vale in the FA Cup on Saturday, according to manager Liam Rosenior. "We have pretty much a fresh group to work with. Best of all, Estevao is fit," he said.
Analysis: Estevao played 20 minutes off the bench against Everton in the last game before the international break, and the winger should be ready to handle a full workload moving forward after being deemed healthy. Estevao has been productive for Chelsea when healthy, notching five goals and two assists across 27 appearances between the Premier League and the Champions League. However, he's been limited to just three appearances since the beginning of February due to injury issues.
