The Blues travel to Bournemouth on Sunday.
The injury ruled Broja out for the rest of the season and though he returned to light training over the summer, he is yet to be involved with the first team so far this season.
Mauricio Pochettino has spoken out about the importance of not rushing the centre-forward’s rehabilitation, as there are high hopes that he will play a crucial role for the Blues when he returns. Alongside Nicolas Jackson, Broja is the only natural striker in the squad, with the club swatting away interest from the likes of AC Milan and West Ham to keep him at Stamford Bridge.
And it appears that Chelsea will not have to wait long to see him back on the pitch, with the president of the Albania Football Association claiming his ‘ready to return’. ‘Broja has completed the recovery phase,’ Armando Duka told Euronews following Albania’s victory over Poland on Sunday.‘We expect him to be on the bench with Chelsea this week, that is, ready to return to the field. He should normally be back in October for the Czech Republic game.Though he may not actually play, it seems that Broja should at least be on the bench for Chelsea when they travel to Bournemouth this Sunday.
