Stricken Chelsea striker Didier Drogba will undergo a scan after experiencing concussion and a heavy fall today.
The Ivorian was knocked unconscious in a midair contest with Norwich City goalkeeper John Ruddy in the Blues' 3-1 win at Stamford Bridge ahead of a sickening fall as a result of being knocked out.
There was around a ten minute delay in the match as medical staff tended to the big African who had to be stretchered off with the aid of oxygen during the second half.
Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas gave a strong indication that Drogba would be fine but said he would have scans just to make sure there was no serious damage.
"He is a little bit better and coming around. He is going for a full scan to assess the extent of the head injury and the concussion," he told Sky Sports.
"He has made steady progress since he has fallen I have to complement my medical staff for being able to react straight away to a dangerous situation."
Aside from the injury to Drogba, Villas-Boas admitted it was a tough slog against the Canaries who were reduced to ten men when Ruddy was sent off for up-ending Ramires with ten minutes remaining.
"It was hard work, particularly in the second half. I think the goal we suffered came against the running of the game because we were a little bit calmer at that stage, but we raised the tempo and the emotions of the game. I think we were able to respond well to suffering the goal," he added.
"We played better in our overhaul, 90 minute performance because we only had two second halves against Stoke and West Brom when we were good. We were more consistent, so we are happy with that and fortunately enough we managed to turn the result in our favour."
