What happened. Former Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips says he is "worried" about Estevao Willian's situation at the club. The winger has featured only as a substitute in four Premier League games under Xabi Alonso, totalling 23 minutes.

• Wright-Phillips wants Alonso to hand the winger more playing time.
• Estevao has been limited to cameo appearances off the bench this season.
• The ex-Chelsea man rates the youngster as a 'fantastic' talent.

“I'm worried about Estevao Willian's situation at Chelsea”

Pressure may grow on Alonso to give the young winger more minutes if his bench role continues.
