Mauricio Pochettino believes Chelsea need to take their chances.<\/h3>\n

Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest reminded Mauricio Pochettino that he needs more potency up front. Summer signing Nicolas Jackson has shown flashes of exciting potential through the middle, but it could be left to another man – Armando Broja – to drag the Blues through a tough spell after the international break.<\/p>\n

Broja has become something of a forgotten man at Chelsea, having been out of action since sustaining an ACL injury last December. The Albanian international was just beginning to find his feet at his boyhood club, having come through the youth ranks at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

The injury therefore came at a devastating time, and the rest of Chelsea’s 2022\/23 season was marred by a distinct wastefulness in front of goal. Thomas Tuchel, Graham Potter and Frank Lampard all failed to find a remedy, and Pochettino has had a tough start too.<\/p>\n

With only one win from the Argentine’s first four Premier League games, the Blues go into the international break a lowly 12th in the table.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Against Forest on Saturday, Chelsea had a staggering 21 shots on goal and 77 per cent possession. It all counted for nothing, however, and Jackson produced a miss of the season contender in the second half, prompting Pochettino to admit after the final whistle that his side needs to find more of an edge up top.<\/p>\n

That may be exactly where Broja comes in. The 21-year-old is now back in full training and could make his return for the trip to Bournemouth on September 17.<\/p>\n

Quick, powerful and 6ft 3in, Broja enjoyed bright loan spells with Vitesse Arnhem and Southampton before penning a six-year deal at Chelsea last September. The youngster is highly thought of at Stamford Bridge, with Raheem Sterling raving about his physical attributes in training.<\/p>\n

While 25 goals in 108 senior appearances is hardly a record to write him about, many in and around the club expect Broja to take his output to another level once he gets a run in the first team.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And his return to action could come in the nick of time for Pochettino. With summer signing Christopher Nkunku set for several more months out injured, the pathway is set to clear for Broja to get his shot at the spearhead of Chelsea’s attack.<\/p>\n

Last year, the Blues academy product claimed to have ‘dreamed about playing for Chelsea his whole life’, adding: “It’s the club that I support and the club that I love. I\u2019ve been here since I was a boy so it\u2019s a surreal feeling for me and to be able to put on the blue shirt with the first team.”<\/p>\n
