Albania have released striker Armando Broja back to Chelsea.

Albania coach Sylvinho has agreed not to take risks with the centre-forward's fitness as he returns from knee surgery.

Broja had wanted to train with Albania, though has now agreed to return to London.

Chelsea are expecting him to be avalable Arsenal's visit to Stamford Bridge next week.

Broja was also left out of Albania's 3-0 win over Czech Republic in Group E on Thursday night in a further effort to manage his return to full fitness.
