Amid their existing injury absentees, Chelsea will certainly be without centre-back Wesley Fofana<\/a> for next week\u2019s visit to the Emirates Stadium.<\/p>\n That\u2019s because the defender will be suspended, having picked up a red card for two bookings against Burnley on Saturday. He\u2019ll only serve a one-match ban, but that\u2019s enough to rule him out against Arsenal.<\/p>\n To make matters worse for next weekend\u2019s visitors, Estevao<\/a> is also a doubt, having missed out on Chelsea\u2019s squad against Burnley completely.<\/p>\n Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior<\/a> has confirmed that Estevao felt something in his hamstring during the team\u2019s training session on Friday, adding<\/a>: \u201cAt the moment we are scanning it to make sure it\u2019s nothing too serious but he\u2019s unavailable for today\u2019s game and we will see from there.\u201d<\/p>\n If the injury is even a minor strain, it would raise concerns about Estevao\u2019s availability against Arsenal in just seven days\u2019 time.<\/p>\n The Standard<\/a> report that Estevao is indeed a doubt for the Arsenal match, and we\u2019ll likely know more over the next few days.<\/p>\n Longer-term absentees Levi Colwill<\/a>, Jamie Gittens<\/a>, Mykhailo Mudryk<\/a>, and Marc Cucurella<\/a> will also miss the Arsenal match, but Romeo Lavia<\/a> should be an option after his return to the bench for the Burnley game this weekend.<\/p>\n Related Topics<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chelsea will be without Wesley Fofana for next week\u2019s game against Arsenal, and young winger Estevao is an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":440409,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[151818,398,160350,59,107706,101,56,54,55,29294],"class_list":{"0":"post-440408","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-arsenal-vs-chelsea","9":"tag-chelsea-fc","10":"tag-estevu00e3o","11":"tag-gb","12":"tag-liam-rosenior","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-unitedkingdom","17":"tag-wesley-fofana"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440408","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=440408"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/440408\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/440409"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=440408"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=440408"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=440408"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Estevao](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/hull-city-v-chelsea-emirates-fa-cup-fourth-round.jpg\" "\\"2")
