Chelsea, Drogba suffer gloomy night in Transylvania

The predictions of a strong FC Cluj rang true for Luiz Felipe Scolari as Chelsea stumbled to a disappointing 0-0 Champions League draw in Transylvania.

Even more concerning for Chelsea was Didier Drogba, who was carried off on a stretcher with an apparent knee injury an hour into the game and reportedly left the ground early to undergo X-rays.

Chelsea never managed to stamp their authority on the match against CFR Cluj, who celebrated the draw as if it were a victory.

The Romanian double-winners beat Roma 2-1 on their Champions League debut a fortnight ago and remain level with Chelsea on top of Group A.
