Chelsea legend John Terry has revealed he has one concern about Estevao Willian ahead of the game against Burnley.
The Blues travel to Turf Moor Saturday lunch time looking to make it three Premier League wins in a row having beaten Tottenham and Wolves before the international break.
Chelsea head into the game six points behind leaders Arsenal, and two points behind Manchester City in second place.
John Terry shares Estevao concern ahead of Burnley game
Chelsea have been dealt a blow after Cole Palmer was ruled out for the next three games with a broken toe suffered in a freak accident at home.
There was positive injury news with Enzo Fernandez, Pedro Neto and Benoit Badiashile all fit and available for selection.
It will be interesting to see who Maresca selects in the wide areas, considering Alejandro Garnacho and Neto didn’t go on international duty.
Estevao impressed over the break and fans would love to see him start, but that’s unlikely given he played twice for Brazil.
Terry has labelled Estevao as a superstar, but admitted he had one concern about the youngster ahead of the Burnley game.
“It’s the early kick-off as well, that will be a different experience for the foreign guys, Estevao, it’s probably the first time he’s experienced these early games,” he said on TikTok.
“He thinks the opponent won’t make things easier, they’ll frustrate the life out of us as well.
“But they’re struggling at home. They’re conceding goals, which, in the Championship last year, they weren’t.
“So this year they’re conceding, and I think we’ve looked good. We’ve looked like a threat.”
@johnterry26 Busy week ahead for us, I spoke to @Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink to get his thoughts ahead of our match against Burnley. #chelsea #chelseafc #cfc #premierleague
Chelsea face big eight days
Saturday’s game against Burnley is the first of three huge games in eight days, and Chelsea will want to get the ball rolling with a win.
After Saturday, Chelsea host Barcelona in a mouth watering Champions League clash on Tuesday knowing they ideally need to win after dropping points against Qarabag.
Then next Sunday the Blues welcome Arsenal to Stamford Bridge, looking for a first win over the Gunners since 2021.
