The 22-year-old’s knee ligament was injured in a December friendly against Aston Villa.

Prior to the international break, he returned to the starting lineup for the Blues in their matches against Fulham and Burnley.

With the striker summoned into the Albania team for their next European Championship qualifier against the Czech Republic and friendly with Bulgaria, Chelsea has carefully orchestrated his return to the side.

Broja has returned to London after being left out of the squad that won 3-0 on Thursday night and faced Albania on Tuesday.

For Broja, I have awful news,” Sylvinho, the head coach for Albania, remarked.

He barely spent a total of two days with the squad. He won’t be ready for tomorrow’s game after checking with both our doctors and Chelsea’s. We still need to look at the competition.

Broja’s fitness is a major concern for Chelsea as they prepare for their first game back from the international break on Saturday, September 21 against Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.

Nicolas Jackson, the club’s other striker, has also returned early from international duty. The Villarreal summer signing has had minor wrist surgery after being seen playing with a split in the victories over Fulham and Burnley.

This week, he withdrew from the Senegal squad that was supposed to play Cameroon and South Sudan.

However, Jackson should be good to go when the Gunners come to town.

However, Chelsea must patiently wait for news on Axel Disasi. The 25-year-old has started every game for Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino this season and was recently called up to the France side to replace the injured Dayot Upamecano.

However, Disasi himself withdrew shortly thereafter after a scan revealed “a tear in the quadriceps of the left thigh,” as reported by the French FA in a statement.
