Chelsea striker Armando Broja: This senior teammate helped me during injury recovery

Chelsea striker Armando Broja is grateful to senior teammate Ben Chilwell for his support during his knee injury recovery.

Broja was ruled out for the season after breaking down in December.

"Ben Chilwell has helped me out massively," Broja said.

"He has spoken to me from the moment it happened until now. Only today we had a conversation about it.

"He's been through it. He knows exactly how it feels, the pressure, the mental side of things. He's been helping me every step. He doesn't have to, but he goes out of his way to talk to me, and help me, so a big thanks to him.

"I watch him now and he's flying, he's in good shape, playing well. He's told me I'm going to come back stronger. It's good to hear from someone who has been through it."
