Drogba ruled out for three weeks

CHELSEA expect Didier Drogba to be out for three weeks after the Ivory Coast striker underwent knee surgery at the weekend.

“It looks like it will be three weeks, something like that,” manager Avram Grant confirmed last night. “The operation went well, we just need to wait and see.”

Drogba is keen to play at the African Nations Cup in Ghana which runs from January 20 to February 10.
