Chelsea icon Drogba has supportive words for floored players, fans after Roma shocker

Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has urged his old teammates not to dwell on last night's humiliation in Rome.

Chelsea lost their Champions League encounter 3-0 to AS Roma - the equal heaviest defeat of the Antonio Conte era.

While Chelsea's players have entered radio silence, Drogba reacted this morning, urging them and Blues fans not to drop their heads.

The Phoenix Rising striker tweeted: "Never an easy place to play, but the result was not expected but we're still in @ChelseaFC keep it up @roma confirmed what I saw few weeks ago".
