OFFICIAL: Armando Broja to miss rest of 2022/23 season

Chelsea have confirmed that Armando Broja is expected to be out for the rest of the season.

"Having sustained a knee injury during the first half of Sunday’s friendly against Aston Villa, Armando underwent further assessment following the club’s return to England," the club's official statement reads.

"Scan results from those assessments have unfortunately confirmed an anterior cruciate ligament rupture and that surgery will be required.

"Following the operation, Armando will work closely with the club’s medical department during his rehabilitation and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2022/23 campaign."

Fabrizio Romano has already reported that Chelsea are looking at opportunities to sign a new striker in January - but nothing is advanced so far
