Chelsea to learn Armando Broja knee injury severity as Graham Potter January transfer plan clear

Chelsea are set to learn the extent of Armando Broja's injury this week after he picked up a knee injury in a mid-season friendly versus Aston Villa. The 20-year-old striker screamed in pain following a collision with Ezri Konsa and he was subsequently stretchered off the field of play.

He looked to be in great pain and was seen to be clutching his leg as he was tended to by medical staff. The Albania international has no history of knee injuries and, as the Blues prepare for the Premier League's return, his injury comes as a major blow.

In Broja's absence, Chelsea went on to lose 1-0 to Unai Emery's side in Abu Dhabi. The youngster joins a growing list of injured players unavailable to Graham Potter, including N'Golo Kante, Reece James, Wesley Fofana and Ben Chilwell.
