Didier Drogba

how will marca know the english tabloids about DD's length of injury?

dont think he would be gone for 6 months. gods cant be so cruel!!!

[Rambo 1,729]

Based on Drogba's comments it sounds more like 4-6 days than 4-6 months that these "credible" sources have been reporting.

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.

Marginally better??

Costa is a top-class striker which we didn't have last season, whilst Drogba is still a very good box presence.

We're much better in the striking department.

Not sure if this has already been posted.

This is a fantastic photo.... shows how well the new signings have settled in.

Good job all around !

Costa is a massive upgrade but I'm not sold on how much of an impact Drogba will be. Plus José seems set on playing Torres out wide based on what we've seen so far this pre-season.

It's good to see them blending in aswell, rather seeing the brazilians hanging with the brazilians and the Spanish with the Spanish. We have a very diverse group and it's always a warm feeling when you see them mingle with one another as if they've been friends for years. Great way to build chemistry.

If he's out for 4-6 months that means we NEED to buy another striker. Might not be a bad thing if we end up buying a younger more durable striker. Drogba can still work with the team and keep the mood up and then be our impact player at the end of the season.

Why couldn't Torres be the one to pick up an injury....ah yes he does not even make enough effort to get in danger of injuring himself.

Gutted he's out tomorrow. I was so looking forward to him coming back to the Bridge in a no pressure game. Also i'm going and was desperate to see him again.

I read that Jose has asked the fans to come early to the bridge because the players will be out before the match for the fans to greet them. Maybe you'll get to see him after all.

Yes, but if a calamity hits, Torres' presence does Jack shit.

Really hoping we get Chicharito. He'd be a great signing.

[Chelsea Legend 11 4,062]

Okay that's all the warning I need. We need to sign another striker, preferably one who can play the wing... Remy makes the most sense.

He checks all the boxes for being an impact sub.

Telegraph :

Didier Drogba's injury not as bad as feared as striker could make Chelsea's Premier League opener at Burnley
