Journalist Reveals When Unseen Everton Player Could Make Senior Team Debut

Albanian journalist Ndreca reported on X (1 October) that Armando Broja’s return from a pre-existing injury is imminent, with his Everton debut expected in just over a month.

Broja, who joined Everton on 31 August on a season-long loan from Chelsea with an option to buy, will not join the Albania national team in October to avoid risking another injury setback.

Ndreca stated: “Broja is in the final stage of recovery.

He is not on the October list because Everton cannot risk him getting injured again with the national team, especially after waiting so long for him.

Gradual activation will begin after our matches, in November.”

Albania has two games in November, and Broja’s debut for Everton could come on 23 November, when they face Brentford.

Armando Broja Needs to Make an Impact at Everton

When Broja eventually makes his debut for the Toffees, fans will expect the striker to bring significant improvement to Sean Dyche’s struggling side.

With Beto and Dominic Calvert-Lewin ahead of him in the pecking order, Broja must offer a different attacking option and become a consistent goal scorer to secure regular playing time.

Calvert-Lewin and Beto have already scored three goals between them this season, but standout performances from Dwight McNeil and Iliman Ndiaye could open the door for Broja.

Additionally, ongoing uncertainty surrounding Calvert-Lewin’s future on Merseyside—especially if he hasn’t signed a new contract before the January transfer window—could position Broja as Dyche’s first-choice striker.

There’s plenty of work ahead for the Albanian international, and he must quickly prove that he can live up to his potential £30 million price tag.
