Unfortunately, Chelsea have suffered another injury setback,as young striker Armando Broja have suffered a serious knee injury. Broja was subbed off on a stretcher at half time, signaling how bad the injury is. This is a huge blow for potter,whose team will face Dortmund in the champions league,on February next year.

This leaves Aubumeyang as the only 100% fit lone striker,only a few weeks to the return of the competitive football.
