Chelsea striker Estevao surprisingly missed the success against Cardiff City (3:1) in the 1/4-final due to a muscle injury.
The 18-year-old Brazilian will also miss the next Londoners' match against Newcastle from the 17th round of the Premier League, sportal.bg reported.
This was admitted by the Londoners' manager Enzo Maresca after the match.
“Estevao has a small muscle problem, the injury is minor, but he will not be available for the match with Newcastle. We will see about the next one. I think it is possible for him to recover,” Maresca said after the Cardiff match.
The Newcastle-Chelsea match will take place on Saturday, December 20. Kick-off time is 2:30 p.m. This season, Estevao has played in 21 games in all competitions, scoring 5 goals and providing 1 assist.
