Media reports have revealed a state of uncertainty regarding the possibility of Brazilian winger Estevao Willian, from Chelsea, participating with his national team in the 2026 World Cup, due to a recent injury he sustained.

According to "The Athletic," the player's participation in the World Cup, scheduled to take place in June and July, is now in doubt after he sustained an injury during his team's match against Manchester United in the English Premier League last week.

The report indicated that the 18-year-old player might be absent from the field for several months, which threatens his chances of joining the Brazilian national team's roster for the upcoming tournament.

It is noted that Estevao Willian participated in 36 matches with Chelsea across various competitions this season, successfully scoring 8 goals and assisting 4 others, showcasing impressive performances despite his young age.
