Mauricio Pochettino hints he may be considering loaning out 21-year-old Chelsea player this summer
Mauricio Pochettino has hinted that he may be considering allowing Armando Broja to leave Chelsea on loan this summer.
He told Football London that there is a decision to be made before the end of the transfer window regarding the striker.
Broja has unfortunately missed the entire pre-season tour of the United States so far due to the injury he suffered all the way back in December.
Whilst rehab has been stepped up in recent weeks, it was deemed too risky to have him involved in any match action at this stage.
There have been reports that there was the intention for him to be involved in the final friendly in America against Borussia Dortmund on Thursday night.
However, medical staff are keen for him to not take any risks that could further push back his rehabilitation.
Pochettino hints at Broja loan
With no Broja available, there may have been some fears over how their striking options were beginning to look.
These fears have not played out though, with both Nicolas Jackson and Christopher Nkunku impressing in the position when used there.
Pochettino has now hinted that he may be looking to loan out the Albanian this summer.
He said: “Broja in UK still recovering from procedure, we need to analyse now in the next weeks until the end of the transfer window to take a decision for the team.”
It has been claimed in recent days that Pochettino is now not prioritising bringing in a new striker after the performances of his two new signings so far this summer.
It is likely that both Jackson and Nkunku start the opening Premier League game against Liverpool at Stamford Bridge, with the result likely to be a good sign of how they will compete with the elite in England this season.
