Scolari sticks with under-fire Drogba

LUIZ FELIPE SCOLARI insists he has no fears about playing Didier Drogba at West Bromwich Albion today despite the coin-throwing antics that have left the Chelsea striker facing a three-match ban.

Drogba has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association and is under investigation by London police after throwing a coin at Burnley supporters following his goal in Wednesday’s League Cup defeat at Stamford Bridge.

The Ivory Coast star, who had picked up the coin after it was thrown at him from the Burnley section of the ground, is certain to face more provocation from a hostile crowd at the Hawthorns on Saturday.
