Armando Broja dealt massive blow as Chelsea learn knee surgery recovery timeline

Chelsea are set to be without Armando Broja for sometime after the striker suffered a knee injury in a mid-season friendly against Aston Villa. The 20-year-old screamed in pain following a collision with Ezri Konsa and he was subsequently stretchered off the field of play.

He looked to be in considerable pain and was seen to be clutching his leg as he was tended to by medical staff. The Albania international had no history of knee injuries and his injury comes as a major blow.

Graham Potter admitted his concern over Broja's 'awkward' knock following the Blues' defeat in Abu Dhabi on Sunday, claiming that the initials signs didn't look positive. Now that the west Londoners have returned to Cobham training ground ahead of the Premier League's return, the Cobham graduate has undergone tests and Chelsea have found out the severity of his knock.
