Chelsea forward Didier Drogba is a major doubt for the Blues’ trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United on Sunday despite returning to full training today.
Andre Villas-Boas spoke about the Ivorian’s recovery:
“Didier had a medium intensity session yesterday [Thursday] and a high intensity session today [Friday] but it is a week too soon to go with him for Manchester United.”
But Villas-Boas leaves AVB with Fernando Torres, Nicolas Anelka, Daniel Sturridge or Romelu Lukaku to select for a central role in attack and Torres’ performance against Bayer Leverkusen was good enough to earn the spot, in my opinion.
Chelsea have a concern in the goalkeeping position as Henrique Hilario and Ross Turnbull are both struggling with injuries and facing a race for fitness…to warm the bench:
“Hilario took a big knock to his hip. He went for a scan and we are trying to discover the extent of injury. Turnbull is 80 per cent fit after recovering from injury in a reserve game. One of them will be on the bench.”

I want Tories to start d game, and i want AVB to use 5-3-2 formation for next tomorrow game with manu.
Im concerned about Torres en not Drogba who is sick. Drogba is old en he needs to prepare himself for carling cup. He plays physical game en we’re in a different system now with different pattern. Pliz tell me, where’s Kalou ? Chelsea of today is all about being serious en hardworking. I beliv Drogba is fit but he’s not improved coz he is finished. So give Torres his time to gain his lost form en will never think about Drogba again.
I want drogba back on track whether too old or not i don’t care. As for anelka he can go away 4 all i care.
