With Joao Pedro missing against Tottenham, Xabi Alonso decided to push Morgan Rogers up front and hand Geovany Quenda a first Chelsea start on Saturday.

It didn’t work, with Estevao left on the bench. Alonso has now confirmed that Pedro will be missing for a few weeks, a huge blow to Chelsea ahead of matches against Liverpool and Manchester United.

On Saturday, he was a surprise absentee late on. Instead of an easy change and replacing Pedro with Danny Welbeck, Alonso decided to push Rogers up front.
