Armando Broja sent home from Albania camp as Graham Potter hit with fresh Chelsea injury blow

Chelsea striker Armando Broja has been sent home from Albania international duty after suffering an ankle injury against Italy.

Broja was carried off the field and seen icing his ankle shortly after a challenge, which resulted in him watching the rest of the second half from the bench. Chelsea are set to carry out further medical checks in the coming days, but he is not expected back for Albania's upcoming friendly match against Armenia.

Whilst the injury isn't thought to be serious, the Blues' medical department are set to assess any potential damage in the next few days to understand the full extent of the 21-year-old's injury. 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.
