“I love the way he played on the pitchhe is just 22 years and handles the ball like a Pro”–Mauricio Pochettino wants to start using 22-year-old Chelsea star in upcoming games
According to sources, Mauricio Pochettino plans to start the 22-year-old Chelsea star in future games because “I love the way he played on the pitch.”
According to reports, Mauricio Pochettino is currently considering his entire team when selecting who to start in next games.
The Evening Standard reports that in an effort to squeeze some performance out of his team as the fixtures pile up, the manager now wants to hand Armando Broja some starts in the upcoming weeks.
Broja appeared to experience a setback in his initial return to full fitness, and he has since returned to the bench in recent weeks.
After suffering an ACL injury in December of last year, which ended his season, the striker was sidelined for almost a full year.
Despite his goal against Fulham upon his comeback, he hasn’t yet replaced Nicolas Jackson as a mainstay in the starting lineup.
The Senegal international won a spot in the team that flew to Newcastle last weekend after scoring four goals in the two games played prior to the international break.
Broja to get things going
But once more, he had no impact on the crushing loss, leading many to conclude that the manager need to be searching elsewhere for his number nine.
Pochettino may be taking this into consideration, as he is rumoured to be eager to see more from the Albanian international in the upcoming days and weeks.
The Blues are getting ready to play Brighton this weekend in an attempt to recover from their tough loss on Saturday.
With Chelsea playing a team that will have only played three days earlier in Europe, this could be the ideal chance to give Broja his third start of the year.
Rumours still suggest that Chelsea will try to sign a striker at the end of the season or in January.
