Chelsea’s Estevao Willian was spotted in Tuesday’s gym session, fuelling hopes of a return to action against Aston Villa this Saturday.

Estevao was seen taking part in a gym session at Cobham on Tuesday, sparking optimism about his potential return to action against Aston Villa this weekend.

Estevao has been sidelined with a minor muscular injury, missing Chelsea’s last two games.

The 18-year-old was doing cable exercises alongside other Chelsea players, including Reece James, Joao Pedro, Enzo Fernandez, Marc Cucurella, and Pedro Neto. This is a welcome boost for Chelsea, who have struggled with injuries this season.

Enzo Maresca previously expressed his expectation for Estevao to return to the squad against Villa.
