Everton's Broja out for up to 12 weeks with injury

Everton striker Armando Broja will be sidelined for up to three months with an ankle ligament injury, says manager David Moyes.

The 23-year-old, who joined the club on loan from Chelsea last summer, left the pitch on a stretcher following a challenge during Everton's FA Cup third-round victory over Peterborough last Thursday.

The Albania international suffered an Achilles injury during pre-season which scuppered a move to Ipswich before he joined Everton.

"We think he's going to be out for somewhere between 10-12 weeks," Everton boss David Moyes said following his side's 1-0 defeat by Aston Villa on Wednesday.
