Chelsea star emerges as major World Cup doubt after suffering injury in loss to Man United

• Chelsea's Brazilian starlet Estevao Willian has sustained a "grade four hamstring injury" following scans, according to The Athletic.
• The 18-year-old was forced off just 17 minutes into Chelsea's 1-0 defeat t by Manchester United last Saturday.
• The injury means Estevao is set to miss Chelsea's remaining four Premier League matches and potentially the FA Cup final if the Blues get past Leeds in their semi-final on Sunday.
• His participation in the upcoming World Cup for Brazil is now in doubt, as severe hamstring injuries typically require eight weeks to heal, and Brazil's opening group game is in just over seven weeks.
• This latest setback adds to Chelsea's existing injury concerns, which include Reece James, Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer.
