Drogba back for Blues after malaria bout

CHELSEA have been stunned to discover that Didier Drogba has been suffering from malaria for at least a month.

Drogba complained of feeling unwell prior to the last international break in October and missed the league game against Aston Villa and the Champions League trip to Spartak Moscow.

The Ivory Coast striker also did not start Sunday’s game at Liverpool, although he came on as a substitute at the start of the second half.
