Armando Broja has revealed he underwent surgery on Wednesday morning after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament. The Albania international suffered the injury in Chelsea's 1-0 defet to Aston Villa in the Al Wahda Challenge Cup in Abu Dhabi .
Broja went down in the opening half of the clash against the Villans when his knee appeared to buckle as competed with Ezri Konsa. The severity made itself clear as the Albania international screamed in agony and left the field via a stretcher after a number of minutes.
Chelsea confirmed last week that Broja would be required to go under the knife and would also miss the remainder of the 2022/23 season. In the immediate aftermath of the news the 21-year-old had conceded it had been difficult to take on board.
