BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 José Mourinho has confirmed that striker Didier Drogba's ankle injury is not as bad as first feared.Drogba received extensive on-field treatment during Sunday's 2-1 victory over Ferencváros, and was forced to limp off after just 28 minutes. Spanish tabloid Marca claimed the Ivorian could be out for between 4-6 months, but the striker himself went on record as saying he is confident of being fit for next Monday's clash with Burnley. “I twisted my ankle and I couldn’t continue,” Drogba said. “In the next few days we are going to do some treatment and I hope everything will be better", he expressed in an interview with The Guardian. And Blues boss Mourinho confirmed as much in an exclusive interview with Chelsea TV after tonight's (Tuesday) 2-0 win over Real Sociedad at Stamford Bridge, stating that the Ivorian should be out for no more than seven days.Drogba, though unfit to play, was (re-)introduced to the Blues faithful this evening ahead of that pre-season fixture to a hero's reception.
