Armando Broza was spotted back in Chelsea training to give Mauricio Pochettino a huge boost over Brentford. The 22-year-old suffered a setback after missing the weekend’s clash against Arsenal with an early return from international duty with Albania, having missed the past 10 months with a serious knee injury.
Before the game, Pochettino revealed his injury: „We have to assess Axel DeSasi, we have to assess Nico Jackson, we have to assess Reece.
