Chelsea's Carabao Cup exit has prompted discussion over the lack of game time for young forward Estevao and an injury worry for defender Lacroix, according to comments from Alonso.
The remarks came following Chelsea's elimination from the competition, with Alonso addressing the situation surrounding the Brazilian teenager Estevao, who has seen limited minutes this season, and providing an update on Lacroix's fitness status.
No further details on the specific nature of Lacroix's injury or a timeline for his return were immediately available.
