Albania chief takes aim at Chelsea with major Armando Broja verdict amid Southampton loan claim

Chelsea striker Armando Broja enjoyed a strong loan spell with Southampton last season but has failed to replicate his impressive form for the Blues.

Broja has started just twice so far this season for Chelsea after Thomas Tuchel convinced the youngster to stay at Stamford Bridge following interest from West Ham and Napoli. The 21-year-old suffered an ankle injury earlier this week and was substituted in the 50th minute of Albania's friendly against Italy.

Chelsea are set to carry out further medical checks in the coming days, but he is not expected back for the upcoming friendly match against Armenia. Whilst Broja's injury isn't thought to be serious, the Blues' medical department are set to assess any potential damage to understand the full extent of the 21-year-old's injury.
