Chelsea’s call to face Brentford for the 4th round of the Premier League caught the eye. The reason was the absence of Stephen, who did not even appear among those related to the match.
The young Brazilian striker was not even in the bench, and the London club did not present any official justification for the cut.

Possible explanation of Estevão’s absence
The doubt that arises between English and Brazilian fans is if Stephen was preserved. This is because Chelsea debuts at Champions League as early as Wednesday (17), against Bayern Munich, a confrontation of enormous difficulty.
Some players like Cucurella and Gusto were also spared. The center forward João Pedro is as a starter. Cole Palmer starts at the bank.
Chelsea’s lineup has: Sinchez; Phofana, Chalobah, Tosin and Hato; Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Netoe and Buonanotte; Gittens and João Pedro.
