Enzo Maresca issues warning over Estevao 'mistake' ahead of Chelsea debut
Enzo Maresca has warned Chelsea about the danger of putting Estevao 'under pressure' in his first season at Stamford Bridge. Last year, Chelsea reached an agreement to sign the 18-year-old from Brazilian side Palmeiras, paying €34 million (£28.7m) up front plus a further €23m (£19.4m) in add-ons. Estevao remained at Palmeiras until after their Club World Cup campaign and he has now joined Chelsea ahead of the new Premier League season. The winger is regarded as one of the brightest young prospects in Brazil and is already being compared to Neymar. But Maresca insists Estevao needs time to adjust following his move to the Premier League.

'For me, the biggest mistake we can do with him is to put him under pressure. He's very young, he needs to adapt,' Maresca said. 'I met him for the first time in the USA when we played against Palmeiras. He's a fantastic player, he's very young, he's a happy boy. He's always laughing, typical from a Brazilian guy and we need to keep him happy. 'We need to pay a little bit more attention, first of all because first of all he's from the other part of the world and also he's very, very young. So we need to pay attention. 'As I said, [he is] not under pressure, give him happiness, give him time, he needs to adapt. Hopefully we can give him minutes, so he's even more happy. But for sure, he's a talented player.' More Trending Maresca also believes Estevao is capable of playing in multiple positions in Chelsea's attack. When asked about where Estevao can fit in Chelsea's team, Maresca said: 'He can play everywhere. 'He's so good. For me, he's like Cole [Palmer], in terms of, careful, he is like Cole in terms of position. 'He can play outside, he can play inside, he can play everywhere. In our five attacking positions, for me, he can play everywhere.' For more stories like this, check our sport page. Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Tottenham confirm major injury blow as James Maddison faces knee surgery
Tottenham midfielder James Maddison is set to miss the majority of the new season after the club confirmed he has ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee. Maddison missed the end of the 2024-25 campaign with a knee injury, but returned last month to feature in pre-season under new boss Thomas Frank. England international Maddison continued his comeback with a substitute appearance in a 1-1 draw with Newcastle in South Korea on Sunday, but collapsed in pain with no one around him and subsequently left the pitch on a stretcher in the 86th minute. Spurs' worst fears have now been confirmed with Maddison set to undergo surgery in the coming days on his ACL injury. 'We can confirm that James Maddison will undergo surgery for a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right knee,' a club statement read. 'The 28-year-old midfielder suffered the injury during our pre-season friendly against Newcastle United on Sunday in Seoul. 'His surgery will take place in the coming days and, following that, James will then begin his rehabilitation with our medical team. 'Everyone at Tottenham Hotspur wishes James a full and speedy recovery. We will be supporting him every step of the way.'
