Chelsea striker Drogba to miss Champions League return

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba faces missing out on his Champions League return.

The Ivory Coast hitman is available to face Atletico Madrid after serving his three-match Champions League ban.

But he picked up a minor leg injury at Bolton on Saturday and boss Carlo Ancelotti will monitor him before deciding whether to unleash the striker at the Vicente Calderon.

Ancelotti said: "Drogba had a little problem with his leg and we have to wait. I would like to change something.

"We have fresh players in good condition and I want to use all the players."
