Chelsea forward Armando Broja has reportedly been ruled out for the rest of the season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in a friendly against Aston Villa on Sunday.
The 21-year-old collided with Ezri Konsa during the game in Abu Dhabi before holding his right knee and screaming in pain. Graham Potter admitted in his post-match interview that it didn't look "positive" for Broja and that the injury was an "awkward one".
According to the Evening Standard, the Albanian faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after rupturing his ACL in the 1-0 defeat. It is understood Broja is due to have surgery on his knee to repair the torn ligament, with the forward then set to begin his rehabilitation programme ahead of a return to action, which is some months away.
