Nearing return Broja (knee) is nearing a return, according to the President of the Albanian FA, Armando Duka.

Impact Broja has been out since undergoing an ACL surgery in December but is progressing through his recovery and is weeks away from a return.

Impact Broja has reportedly been progressing in his recovery with the club recently labeling him as "at the end stages of his rehabilitation programme."

Impact Broja is near the final steps of his recovery following his ACL surgery in December. He still needs more training sessions before returning to the team, but is aiming at a return within the next few weeks.

Working on return Broja (knee) has been on the training grounds working on his return to fitness, but is still expected to miss the next few matches.

Impact The team are hopefully that Broja will be back by September as he continues to recover from a knee injury.

Unavailable versus Liverpool Broja (knee) will not be ready to face Liverpool on Sunday, though the team listed him as being in the end stages of his recovery.

Impact Broja made just two starts in 17 matches for the club last season in the Premier Leauge and Champions League, so his absence from the squad is unlikely to impact the starting XI. Once given the all-clear, Broja figures to serve primarily as a substitute option for the club, limiting his fantasy viability.

Working in U-21 camp Broja (ACL) is stepping up his recovery with the U-21 team in their pre-season camp, reports Evening Standard.

Impact Broja underwent knee surgery in December and will take time to get back his fitness and overall health after being on the sidelines the last six months. His future in the team is unknown, but if he can make a quick return and even feature for Chelsea in their senior team camp, that'd be a good sign for the campaign ahead.

At his best, Broja scored six goals in 32 appearances for Southampton in the 2021/22 season though he hasn't gotten a consistent chance to play since then.

Suffers torn ACL Broja has suffered a torn ACL and is expected to miss the rest of the season, his club announced Wednesday.

Impact Broja's season is done after an attempted tackle went poorly in Sunday's friendly against Aston Villa. This is unfortunate timing for a player with more potential than production at the moment, as he'd scored once in 12 league appearances (two starts) before the World Cup. As he works his way back to the pitch, Broja will hope to recapture the form that saw him score six times in 32 appearances for Southampton during the 2021/22 season.

Impact Broja went down in lots of pain after trying to make a challenge and it looks like he's sprained his MCL at the least. It will take some time before the length of his absence is confirmed but don't expect him to play over the next couple of weeks. As he's started just twice this season, Broja's absence won't make a massive impact on the lineup.

Starts at striker in loss Broja put one shot on target and created one chance during Saturday's 1-0 loss to Newcastle United.

Impact Broja made just his second league start and first in three weeks to close out the first half of the season. Though still a talented player, with one goal in 17 appearances (two starts) he hasn't done enough to justify much attention.

Scores goal against Wolves Broja subbed into Saturday's match against Wolverhampton in the 72nd minute and he scored a goal in the 3-0 victory.

Impact Broja added icing on the cake in his side's win Sunday as he scored his first goal for Chelsea's senior team late on. The 21-year-old is yet to start in either the Premier League or Champions League this season, but he should continue getting consistent opportunities off the bench subbing in for the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz.

Out against Leeds Broja will miss Sunday's trip to Leeds because of an undisclosed issue, according to manager Thomas Tuchel. "'Armando is out for some days."

Impact Broja had come off the bench and played 16 minutes over the first two matches, so his absence likely means more time for the Chelsea starters. It's unknown what kind of role Broja will have this season, as it seems unlikely that he'll be given many starts even if a couple of the regulars are injured.

Armando Broja's penalty finish fuels Albania's 1-0 lead vs. Israel

JUNE 10, 2022 • Fox Sports

Scores six goals in debut season Broja, in his first season with Southampton, recorded six goals on 45 shots (21 on target), eight crosses (zero accurate) and 10 chances created.

Impact Outside of his goals, Broja didn't offer much in terms of value in the offensive third of the pitch considering he didn't have a single accurate cross or assists in 32 appearances (21 starts). Still, the forward should remain a top-half target heading into next season and could challenge the likes of Che Adams and James Ward-Prowse for the team lead in goals.
