Estevao to miss PSG game


Chelsea winger Estevao won’t be facing Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 clash on Wednesday night.

The Blues have found form in the last few matches. They recently progressed to the FA Cup quarter-final after a 4-2 win over Wrexham on the road.

They will now face PSG in the first leg of the Champions League last 16 in Paris. Ahead of the game, the club are without a key wide player.

Estevao has been sidelined for the past few matches with a hamstring injury and he has not recovered in time to make the trip to the French capital.

In his absence, Cole Palmer looks poised to start on the right wing. One of Alejandro Garnacho or Pedro Neto could slot on the opposite flank.

Chelsea go into the game as underdogs, but they will be aiming to repeat the 3-0 win over PSG in the Club World Cup final last summer.
