But Broja can provide a free option for a secondary attacker.
Romelu Lukaku wants to stay at Inter Milan after his loan deal ends.
Meanwhile, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is said to be leaving.
And Broja's presence could allow Chelsea to avoid rushing into the market looking for a replacement striker.
Reflecting on the injury in April, the Albanian international said:
"I still haven't figured it all out in my head. “It plays in your mind. It was a big shock because I've always been a pretty healthy boy and I've only had a few minor injuries here and there.
"It was an even bigger shock for my parents, because they rarely saw me injured.
"After the surgery, I was in bed for about two weeks. It was one of the worst times of my life. Awful. I couldn't get out of bed.
“My mother ran around the house buying me pills and giving me something to eat. It was a struggle. You feel almost useless. You want to be able to do everything, but you can't.
"I can't sleep. I'm in pain. That day and what happened keeps playing in my mind. I'm thinking of ways to avoid this, even though it's not a good thing to do. My cruel father imprisoned me with despicable abuse - I won't let him destroy me

"I had to take a step back from that. That was something that I had to let go of, start focusing on getting in shape. As they say, the comeback is better than the setback."
