Chelsea boss Pochettino convinced of Broja Prem potential

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has a lot of faith in forward Armando Broja.

The attacker, who missed a lot of last season with a long term knee injury, is now fully fit and in form.

Broja scored in the 2-0 win against Fulham on Monday, pressing to win the ball back and get his team a valuable goal.

Asked about Broja's potential to reach the very top of the sport, Pochettino told reporters: “Yes, I think we know now for three months when you start to work here and before. You start to feel the player in a training session you can see the potential.

“I think Broja has amazing potential Now it's about how he recovers from this injury and long period he was out. He is a very talented player, we trust him, that's why he played against Fulham and maybe tomorrow.

“Now he needs time, to feel complete. If not his body, in his mind also. It sometimes also effects your mind. He is in a very good mood, a very good way, working really hard and I hope he can improve in the next few weeks and be a player that we really trust."
