Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino admits Armando Broja is available for Sunday's clash with Aston Villa.

The centre-forward hasn't featured since before Christmas after suffering a knee during the World Cup break.

Pochettino said today: "We will assess Moi [Caicedo] tomorrow, he has been training with the team so we will check tomorrow.

"Marc [Cucurella] suffered a fever but he is back now.

"Noni [Madueke] was involved in the week and Armando [Broja], maybe, can be involved."

On Broja, he continued: "He might be involved at the weekend, but it's after eight or nine months that he's been out so we can't put responsibility on him.

"It must be a collective effort and not just offensive players but the whole team.

"We can't expect that Broja will go and score with his first touch, he needs time."
