Injured Drogba and Robben in race to recover as Ivory Coast and Dutch sweat

HOLLAND and the Ivory Coast were anxiously waiting last night to hear if the World Cup dreams of Arjen Robben and Didier Drogba were over.

Robben limped out of Holland’s 6-1 thrashing of Hungary on Saturday with a hamstring injury while Drogba was resting yesterday after undergoing surgery on his fractured arm.

Robben came on as a half-time substitute in the friendly with Hungary and scored two goals before being forced off five minutes from time.
