Is anyone aware of the status of DD injury ? I thought someone put a post up saying he had seriously turned or twisted his ankle?

Not sure if anyone has talked about Drogba's header wednesday night. But he scored with the back of his head! I'm not sure if I have ever seen a header like it. He got turned around in the air while going up with the defender and still managed to glance the ball in using the back left of his head, and seemed to be aiming it all the way. On replay it looked quite amazing to me... or am I over reacting?

Anyone know where I can get Drogba wallpaper?

How will Chelsea cope without him? Everyone praises him so much..why? I've watched many games of him for Chelsea..he can't do much! He has very bad ball control and 1st touch, all he can do is head. Why did we pay so much for him? I think we could have bought a better striker who has many dimensions to his play.

We could easily replace him with Gudjohnsen or Kezman.

Drogba, for me, doesn't put enough away, for the chances he gets.

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba says he is two weeks away from a first team return.
The Ivory Coast ace is recovering from groin surgery and said: "I am happy to be training again and will be playing soon."

It's good news, no?

I know we have a good squad but people don't really mention how good we will be when our injured players get back so I thought I would. People were hardly mentioning Robben when he was injured, they were criticising our attack without mentioning that we have one of the best attacking players in the world out injured, now look at us when he is back. If you ask anyone that watched Marseille last season they will tell you that the formation that we are playing, 4-3-2-1 is tailor made for Drogba. Gudjohnsen is doing really well but Drogba will take it to a whole new level when he returns. He is just back in full training now and should be ready in a few weeks for a return to the team. With him at the front I honestly think we will win the league this year. Man Utd have become easy to beat and Arsenal are still a major threat, but I think that we have enough for them.

Eidur has found some quality form recently scoring 4 in 2 premierrship matches! He has really been playing in Drogba's role when he's been getting these goals, and he hasn't played as many games in this position as Drogba had before injury and has scored more goals. Now do you think Drogba will walk back in to the team or not? Also do you think when he returns he will start banging them away because recently the team has found it's way to the back of the net and we are starting to score alot more goals, so will Drogba start putting them away week after week when he returns, and become the 30+ goalscorer we crave?

[Yellowman]

Does anyone know if he is back in full training? I hear every time, two weeks from now...

I always knew that if we were patient our football would get sexier. The goal yesterday showed the flair. All you doubters that wrote so many long critiques seemed to have gone all quiet.

We seem to be getting better all the time.

I hope we can capitalise on the blip of form Arsenal are going through. I am sure it wont take them long to sort themselves out.
Until then I hope Cygan stays in defence for the injured Sol :)

I'm eager to see Drogba and Robben play together.
I think they will score lot of goals and send Chelsea on top of the league.
So, I hope for Drogba come back quickly.

[SUPER BLUES]

Do we drop Guddy? don't think so.
Duff? nah.
Robben? yeah right.
So what do we do when Drogba comes back?
I think we should drop back to 4-4-2 with Guddy playing between the midfield and Drogba. Although this means we drop Tiago, who didn't do badly against Everton but its the only thing I can think of that allows for a Drogba return with out dropping any of are creative players.
Anyone else got any ideas?

[ChrisChelsea]

What's the latest with Drogba? It will be amazing to see him use the crosses and width afforded by the Duffer and Super Robbo.

[Guillaume]

Has anyone got news on the date of Drogba's return?

[nickfootie5]

Will he be fit for Saturday as I'm going to the match and I really want to see him play?
