Is Estêvão out? Chelsea announces lineup to face Bournemouth.

With several Brazilians in the squad, coach Enzo Maresca confirmed the starting lineup.

Chelsea announced their lineup to face Bournemouth this Tuesday (30), at 4:30 pm (Brasília time), at Stamford Bridge, in London (ENG), for the 19th round of the Premier League . With several Brazilians in the squad, coach Enzo Maresca confirmed the starting position of young Estêvão.

The coach opted to leave Reece James and Pedro Neto among the substitutes. In addition to them, the Brazilian duo Andrey Santos and João Pedro are also options on the bench for the second half.

Starting XI: Sánchez; Acheampong, Chalobah, Fofana and Malo Gusto; Caicedo and Enzo Fernández; Estêvão, Cole Palmer and Garnacho; Liam Delap.
Substitutes: Jorgensen, Badiashile, Tosin, Reece James, Andrey Santos, Buonanotte, Gittens, Pedro Neto and João Pedro.

Chelsea are trying to stay in the top five after their defeat to Aston Villa in the last round. Enzo Maresca’s team is currently in 5th place with 29 points and is looking to bounce back in front of their home crowd to finish the year in a position that qualifies them for continental competition.

Bournemouth, on the other hand, is going through a delicate moment. Andoni Iraola’s team is in 15th place with 22 points, coming off a heavy defeat to Brentford, and is trying to pull off an away win to move away from the bottom of the table.
