Everton are planning to send loanee Armando Broja back to Chelsea after the striker picked up an injury that will keep him out for 10-12 weeks.

Armando Broja's injury nightmare has continued on loan at Everton from Chelsea as David Moyes looks to move in the January transfer window.

There was brief hope that Armando Broja’s ankle injury was not as bad as initially feared but it looks like the 23-year-old will just about miss the rest of the season after all, as he’s expected to be out for 10-12 weeks according to the latest word from Everton.

Armando Broja was handed a rare start for Everton in the FA Cup third round against Peterborough United - but was forced off the field after a horror injury

Armando Broja suffered an ankle ligament injury while playing for Everton against Peterborough United in the FA Cup Third Round. The striker, on loan from Chelsea, is expected to be out for around three months.

Unfortunately for the young striker, his day would end on a stretcher, with his right leg in an air cast, and everyone fearing the worst. The 23-year-old had missed most of the season to that point with an Achilles issue, and spent all of last season trying to get back to his pre-injury levels after an ACL tear cost him most of 2023.
