Desailly: Chelsea can survive Drogba sale

Former Chelsea captain Marcel Desailly hopes Didier Drogba remains at Stamford Bridge.

"For sure - as a Chelsea fan," Desailly told Sky Sports News when asked if he would like the Ivory Coast star to stay at the London club.

"He's meant a lot to Chelsea but I believe we shouldn't concentrate on him.

"If he goes, Chelsea still have strength.

"It's not the player who's more important - it's the club."
