CHELSEA striker Armando Broja has confirmed that he has undergone surgery on his Anterior Cruciate Ligament injury.
Broja, 21, suffered a season-ending ACL injury during Chelsea’s 1-0 Al Wahda Challenge Cup defeat to Aston Villa in Abu Dhabi earlier this month.

But on Wednesday he took to social media to give fans a positive update after undergoing surgery.
He wrote: “Pleased to say I underwent a successful operation this morning.
“Time to rest up before starting my road to recovery. Thank you once again to everyone who has sent messages of support.”
Broja has struggled to adapt to life at Stamford Bridge since returning from his season-long loan at Southampton.
He has started just two league games so far this season, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Kai Havertz preferred in attack.
But, his absence could force Blues boss Graham Potter into signing a new striker.
Chelsea have already signed Molde forward David Datro Fofana for around £10.5million, according to reports.
The 20-year-old is expected to undergo a medical in London on Thursday ahead of the January transfer.

Potter also has his sights set on Borussia Dortmund wonderkid Youssoufa Moukoko.
The teenager is about to enter the final six months of his contract and it has been claimed that Chelsea have submitted an £8.6m offer in a bid to tempt him to Stamford Bridge.
