Armando Broja is hoping to make his Everton debut next month as he recovers from a hamstring injury.

Broja has not played for Everton since joining on loan from Chelsea on transfer deadline day due to an injury.

However, Broja’s recovery is progressing well after starting light training with the Toffees and he is hoping to feature in the middle of next month. Everton

are reluctant to rush the 23-year-old and will be careful with his physical condition. A game at West Ham on November 9 is likely to come too soon for him,

meaning a game at Brentford on November 23 is more likely to be the target for Broja’s return. Everton

have signed Broja on loan with an option to buy for £30m and will not have to pay his wages until he is back from injury.

It’s been a difficult few years for Broja after suffering a serious knee injury while on loan at Southampton. He’s struggled to return to the levels he produced during his time at St Mary’s Stadium, ยูฟ่าเบท but Sean Dyche’s side have given him a chance to prove himself.

Nathan Patterson is also recovering from a hamstring injury, having played for the reserves on Monday. But it may take a while before they are ready for the first team.

Normally, manager Sean Dyche lets the first-team players build up their fitness with the reserves until they are ready to be named in the Premier League.
