Drogba stakes claim for starting spot

Chelsea 1 AC Milan 1

It was Chelsea's third game in eight days on a US tour which also produced a 1-0 win over the Italian side last Sunday in Boston and a hard-fought 2-1 win over American side DC United in Washington on Thursday.

Chelsea were due to arrive in London following an overnight flight from New York this morning, ahead of next weekend's Community Shield against Arsenal and manager Jose Mourinho will have plenty to think about regarding the selection of his starting line-up from a star-studded squad.
