‘Everton striker Armando Broja has returned to light training in Abu Dhabi with the rest of the squad,’ they said.
Everton discussed Broja’s return to Chelsea in the January transfer window, but the Londoners were keen for the striker to remain on Merseyside.

Broja spotted in Everton training images
There is photographic proof that Broja has rejoined the Everton training sessions during their trip to the United Arab Emirates.
Broja was spotted in the background of one of the images published by the club on Friday afternoon from their Abu Dhabi training camp.
Those inside Everton were excited about Broja when he arrived at Finch Farm over the summer.
However, he is now running out of time to show fans and the club what he is actually capable of.
Beto has really impressed at Everton in the absence of the three other senior strikers, but Moyes will be pleased to see some back-up returning to fitness.
