Chelsea striker Armando Broja spotted in protective boot after training that could threaten prospective transfer away
CHELSEA ace Armando Broja has been spotted wearing a protective boot.
Broja, 20, recently flew to the US to link up with the Blues for their pre-season tour having enjoyed a successful loan stint with Southampton last term.
But things haven't got off to a good start, with after the West Londoners' latest practice session hinting that the striker has picked up a foot injury.
The Albania international was snapped sitting on a golf cart on the sidelines with a protective boot placed on his left foot.
That raises questions on whether he will be available for Chelsea's upcoming friendly against Club America on Sunday.
And it could have an impact on him securing a summer transfer exit, with the forward reportedly looking to leave Stamford Bridge and join another Premier League team.

Newcastle are also thought to have enquired about a deal involving Broja.
Southampton were also linked with the centre-forward, who stood out last season while on loan.
The forward amassed a total of nine goals and one assist in 38 matches across all competitions during his St Mary's stint.

However, Saints have reportedly pulled out of the race to sign him in the summer.
Reports suggest Broja's asking price has been set at £30million and he doesn't seem to be part of Thomas Tuchel's plans for the coming season.
