Chelsea striker Armando Broja is set to miss the rest of the season after he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament.
The Albania international was hurt in a collision with Ezri Konsa in the first half of a 1-0 friendly defeat to Aston Villa in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.
The 21-year-old was seen screaming in pain and clutching his right knee before being taken off on a stretcher.
Keep your head up and recover well, Armando. 💙
