Didier Drogba

[We Hate Scouse 10,261]

2 weeks out.

Only way he will be out for 2 weeks is if he's stretched his ligaments. Judging by his reaction his done far more than that..

Reports are, Drogba could be out for 4-6 months.

If that is the case, we HAVE to get another CF.

If he's out for that long it could be a blessing in disguise... Costa, Torres and Drogba is only a marginally better strike force than Eto'o, Torres and Ba.

Wouldn't surprise me if we signed Remy on deadline day if this is a serious injury.

[Daniel1980 1,425]

I feel like a terrible person for saying this, but if he's really out for 6 months, it's a good thing it happened now and not after the start of the season. We can get a decent striker now.

I expect the club to make an announcement of the extent of the injury soon.

Drogba-gony! Chelsea striker faces 4-6 months out

Didier Drogba could be sidelined for anywhere from four to six months with an ankle injury picked up in the game against Hungarian side Ferencváros on Sunday. The Blues striker landed awkwardly on his right foot after challenging for a header and initial examinations suggest he has torn ligaments.

Sunday's fixture was Drogba's first start for Chelsea since returning to the club on a one-year-deal after stints at Shanghai Shenhua and Galatasaray.

How do Marca know this before any credible English paper? meh.

Remy, Bony or Hernandez one of these are the most likely options I guess?

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Marca? Sorry, but I'm not buying it at all.

Did we get a buy-back clause for Lukaku? ;-)

It's nothing.

Drogba’s night only lasted 28 minutes after the striker limped off with an injury. He gave an update on his situation afterwards.

‘I twisted my ankle and I couldn’t continue,’ the Ivorian explained. ‘In the next few days we are going to do some treatment and I hope everything will be better.

They're guessing he's torn his ligaments, which I reckon he has. Time frames for recovery are pretty spot on for that as well.

It sickens me to see people already talking about a replacement for Didier like he's some kind plastic toy which we can replace easily... Some people would be really happy if he was really injured 6 monts.

Yes because people talking about a replacement in case he is badly injured is wrong isn't it? And you would be hard pressed to find anyone who would wish badly on a club legend.

Sometimes I worry about some people on here.

Marca absolutely hate Mourinho and provide anything that could potentially unbalance himself or the club he's managing. (How could they possibly access this information before any English journalism?) Wouldn't be surprised if they made this up aswell as the 70% of bollocks they publish about Mourinho.
