Brazil star Estevao’s World Cup hopes in doubt after injury rules him out for rest of season

MANCHESTER (ENGLAND): (Apr 24) (AP) Brazil forward Estevao’s World Cup hopes are in doubt after it was confirmed Friday he will miss the rest of the season with a hamstring injury.

It is not clear if the Chelsea player will recover in time for the tournament that runs through June and July.

Chelsea interim coach Calum McFarlane did not give a timeframe for Estevao’s recovery after he sustained the injury in the first half of last week’s game against Manchester United.
