There is just one week until Chelsea are back in action, with a host of new signings ready to pull on the Blue shirt for the first time, so you’ll understand why this round of international games seem like a bit of an inconvenience.
It’s always worth trying to take something positive from them though, and in this case it’s got to be Armando Broja.
Asked why Armando Broja was not included in the Albania U21 squad, manager Alban Bushi said "Broja is now an established player and could be part of the national team A for the next two games."
Squad to play Belarus and Lithuania will be named Saturday.https://t.co/pcqa8wWBuU

The Albanian striker wasn’t even in Chelsea’s top youth team a year ago, but after a great season breaking through there, he’s earned a loan at Vitesse this year – plus an international callup.
He’s expected to make his full debut for his country tonight when they take on Lithuania in the Nations League.

We’re super keen to see him in action – although that sounds like a tricky one to find a stream for. Either way, playing in the Eredivisie this year will give him a ton more exposure, and hopefully tonight’s game represents just the first of many more caps to come.
Good luck Armando!
