Chelsea striker Didier Drogba knows his early season form has been disappointing and wants to rediscover his scoring touch quickly. The Ivory Coast international has outlined his determination to reach his peak again after shaking off a nagging knee problem.

"I've not played for the last two matches and I'm in a hurry to return to my best level and be a first-team regular again," Drogba told La Provence.

"If you look back to last May, I've been out for four to six months and it has been very difficult for me. But now I feel in top form.

"I know what I am capable of doing and the real satisfaction for me is that my knee is completely right."
