  Broja has been out of action since November 2022 – with his last appearance coming for Albania in a friendly clash with Italy – but he is nearing a return to club competition after undergoing surgery on a serious knee problem that was picked up during the World Cup break. He could come into contention for selection at a timely moment for Chelsea, with new Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino crying out for a No.9 to lead the line in his team.
