Mauricio Pochettino enjoyed a warm embrace with Chelsea striker Armando Broja after substituting him off in the recent win against Fulham.
That is according to a report from The Athletic.
Chelsea secured a much-needed three points on Monday night by beating Fulham 2-0 at Craven Cottage.
Mauricio Pochettino has overseen some indifferent results during his first couple of months as Chelsea’s head coach, but it’s been a positive few days with a win in both the Premier League and Carabao Cup.
The return of Armando Broja, 22, to the pitch recently has been one of several positives.
Broja started and scored on Monday against Fulham to delight the supporters. He was substituted off during the second half with tiredness rather than injury, though.
The Athletic reports that Pochettino greeted Broja warmly on the touchline after his substitution and grasped his hand.
They add that the 22-year-old striker is rated very highly by his manager, so his return to the pitch is a big boost at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea defender Levi Colwill has claimed this week that Broja is a “big and strong” attacke he would hate playing against, as quoted by BBC.
