Xabi Alonso “clearly” underwhelmed by Estevao impact claims journalist

Journalist Matt Law stated on the London is Blue podcast that manager Xabi Alonso appears underwhelmed by winger Estevao Willian's impact off the bench. Estevao has not yet started a Premier League match this season, amid rumors that the player is dissatisfied with his current playing time at Chelsea.

Law noted that Alonso's team selections indicate the manager feels Estevao has not made the required impact during substitute appearances. The article argues that judging the winger solely on brief substitute appearances is harsh, noting that regular starts would better evaluate his form.
