The Drog Is Back
You get the feeling Didier Drogba and John Terry could have broken a leg or two each last weekend and still declared themselves fit for next week's Champions League Final. On Sunday, both were major doubts for the biggest club match in the world but now Chelsea's two big guns have recovered at breakneck speed. They'll both line up against Man United in a game Chelsea will be doubly determined to win after losing the title to Alex Fergie's mob on the last day of the season.
"I got a blow on my knee and immediately put some ice on it," Drogba told French newspaper L'Equipe. "There is nothing serious and I'll resume training this week. Anyway, no one wants that huge rendezvous – it's the match of our careers. It is for me, for sure."
Too right, Didier. Adding, rather helpfully, that: 'I had a talk with John and he will play at Moscow', Drogba has given Chelsea fans exactly the news they wanted to hear. Blues supporters may well be smarting from that last-day title disappointment, but at least they'll be at full strength when they go looking to end the season on a high with a first ever Champions League victory.
It's not 100% good news, though. As is the way with Drogba, there is a sting in the tail. The Champions League final may still be his last game for Chelsea, and the cheeky scamp is giving nothing away. "I only have the Moscow final in my mind," he teased. "What will happen in June or July? I don't know… yet."
