Chelsea winger Willian will reportedly sit out his team’s clash with Leicester City on Saturday due to the death of his mother, Maria Jose Borges.
According to Liam Twomey of ESPN FC, sources have confirmed the Brazil international will likely miss the visit of the champions due to the bereavement. Willian is said to have returned home for the funeral on Wednesday after his mother died of cancer.
The Blues sent their best wishes to the player at this difficult time:
All of us at CFC are sending our love to Willian and his family after the passing of his mother.
