Estevao Willian celebrates scoring for Brazil against South Korea(Image: Ricardo Nogueira/Sports Press Photo)

Estevao Willian played around 17 minutes - including stoppage time - for Brazil as they threw away a two-goal lead against Japan on Tuesday afternoon. The Chelsea winger started, and scored twice, as Carlo Ancelotti's men defeated South Korea last week, but was used from the bench in Tokyo.

This comes as a big boost for Chelsea and Enzo Maresca, who will be hoping to use Estevao on Saturday afternoon as the Blues travel to Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. Not only this, but with Brazil playing on Tuesday, it gives the 18-year-old winger a bit more time than usual after returning home from an international break.

Estevao is due to begin his trip back to the UK in the next hours following the defeat in Japan. Brazil's defeat came in the Ajinomoto Stadiumf in Chōfu and from there, a non-stop flight to London can take between 14 and 15 hours, meaning Estevao should be back in the capital on Wednesday.

Maresca will be hoping to have Estevao back training in Cobham...
