Armando Broja

Burnley striker Armando Broja (24) appears to have avoided a serious setback after being stretchered off during Albania’s defeat to England in their final World Cup qualifier. Broja, who entered the match in the 75th minute, went down in stoppage time clutching his ankle and was visibly distressed as he received treatment, raising fears of a long-term injury.

However early assessments indicate the injury is not expected to be serious, and Broja has likely escaped a lengthy spell on the sidelines. The forward returned to Burnley’s training ground on Tuesday, where he will undergo scans to determine the full extent of the damage. Club staff are hopeful the issue is limited to an ankle strain.
