Chelsea boss AVB denies Drogba gave halftime address

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas denies Didier Drogba took the halftime team talk for their 1-1 draw at FA Cup opponents Birmingham City.

Villas-Boas branded suggestions Drogba had delivered a half-time team-talk before his introduction as "ridiculous" but admitted captain John Terry - who did not play today - may have complained to the referee about time-wasting.

Villas-Boas revealed Terry was only "50-50" to return from a knee injury against Napoli after failing to train yesterday but was more optimistic about Ashley Cole shaking off a calf problem.
