Chelsea fans will turn on Xabi Alonso if weird treatment of star player continues

Chelsea fans and pundits alike have been left baffled by Xabi Alonso’s treatment of Estevao. The Blues boss left the Brazil winger on the bench as his side crashed out of the Carabao Cup in a penalty shootout defeat to Liverpool on Wednesday night. Despite becoming a fan favourite during his first season at Stamford Bridge, Estevao has played just 148 minutes of competitive football under Alonso. The 19-year-old is yet to start in the Premier League this season, appearing only as a substitute and playing back-up to Pedro Neto at right-wing-back.
