“I’ve been told” Potter will start Chelsea’s £27m man for the first time ever against Palace
According to rumors, Armando Broja of Chelsea may get the start this weekend against Crystal Palace.
Finally, on Saturday, when they go across London to Selhurst Park to play Palace, Chelsea returns to Premier League action.
Graham Potter began leading Chelsea before the break with a 1-1 draw against Red Bull Salzburg, but he has now had a few weeks to adjust to life at Stamford Bridge.
Supporters’ reactions when they learn his starting lineup in a few days will be very fascinating.
According to information provided by journalist Simon Phillips, Broja might be selected for the starting lineup versus Palace.
He’s extremely close; I’m surprised he hasn’t had it yet, but he had a minor injury, so I think that held him back a little bit, Phillips said to GIVEMSPORT.
According to what I’ve been informed, he should start the following match, barring any unforeseen circumstances. Since Aubameyang is still dealing with a fractured jaw, I predict that Broja will start the match against Crystal Palace.
This season, Broja has made six appearances for Chelsea, all of which have been as a substitute off the bench.
The center-forward did participate in Potter’s inaugural match against Salzburg, but it seems likely that this will be his first start under Potter. The 21-year-old would be making his first senior Chelsea career start as well.
The Albanian international’s inclusion in Potter’s starting lineup, which he can only achieve if he is given opportunities on the field, would be the ideal way to put an end to transfer rumors.
His energetic cameo efforts this season have been well received by the audience, but he has to start more games to properly demonstrate his talent.
He has undoubtedly improved tenfold since his Southampton loan last year, but is he ready to routinely lead the line for the Blues?
