Drogba facing groin op at end of season, admits Ancelotti

CHELSEA manager Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that striker Didier Drogba could require surgery at the end of the season to cure a long-standing groin problem.

Drogba, who watched Chelsea’s 7-1 demolition of Aston Villa last week from the sanctuary of the subs’ bench, has been carrying the injury for some time.

But that has not stopped the 32-year-old from bagging 30 goals this season and he will spearhead Chelsea’s attack in their top-of-the-table confrontation with Manchester United at Old Trafford today.
