No fears for Drogba, insists AVB

Andre Villas-Boas is confident Didier Drogba’s latest African Nations Cup heartache will not spill over into his Chelsea performances.

Drogba was back in London yesterday, having been given leave to return to his native Ivory Coast after their shattering final defeat to Zambia on Sunday.

The 33-year-old remains revered in his homeland, despite another penalty miss which cost his country the chance of Nations Cup glory.
