With all the eyes of the world on Qatar, with the two semi-finals deciding who will play in Sunday's grand final, clubs can't wait to get their season back on track.
Considering that by the end of the tournament only two national teams are already involved, the players are slowly returning to the sports centers.
The teams are playing some friendlies to get back on track. But, as often happens, even in friendly matches you can get hurt. The risk is also to stop for a long time, as the story of Chelsea's Albanian centre-forward Armando Broja can confirm.
In fact, our red and black striker will have to stay out of the field for the rest of the season. As the "Daily Mail" reports, the player of the blues of London was injured during the friendly match played in Abu Dhabi between Chelsea and Aston Villa, tearing the cruciate ligament of the right knee.
What appeared to be a harmless tackle on an opponent turned out to be the start of the ordeal for the 21-year-old, who will now undergo surgery and hopefully return to action at the start of next season.
This is the confirmation of Broja's instrumental tests, just returned to England. A bad blow for the Albanian, who, especially since Graham Potter arrived on the bench, has found more and more space in Chelsea's rotations.
In fact, Broja's injury leaves Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang as the only point forward, with the possibility of also being deployed as a 'false 9' to Kai Havertz, who often covered that role under Thomas Tuchel. But perhaps the Blues need a true centre-forward and that's where the CR7 option comes back...
As long as there is no confirmation of the deal with Al-Nassr, the five-time Ballon d'Or winner is effectively a free agent and could also agree to Chelsea. It is no coincidence that we are talking about this again, because in the summer the Portuguese had long been on the "radars" of the new owner of the London club, the American Todd Boehly, even if nothing more had been done about it.
However, now that he is out of contract and Broja is injured…, anything can happen!
