Poll predicts long bans for Blues pair

FORMER Premier League referee Graham Poll expects UEFA to hand out long suspensions to Chelsea pair Didier Drogba and Michael Ballack following last week’s Champions League exit.

Drogba confronted referee Tom Henning Ovrebo after the clash against Barcelona at Stamford Bridge, while Ballack was furious with the official for not awarding a penalty.

UEFA are still gathering evidence ahead of any action being taken against the club or their players.
