Chelsea striker Drogba facing another four-match Euro ban
Didier Drogba is facing another lengthy ban after his dismissal in Chelsea's defeat to Inter Milan last night.
The Ivory Coast striker’s four-match ban for ranting at ref Tom Henning Ovrebo as Chelsea crashed out in the semi-finals to Barcelona 12 months ago also carried a two-match suspended penalty, which could be triggered by Uefa after his sending-off for violent conduct.
A straight red card in the Champions League carries an automatic two-game suspension so Drogba could begin next season’s competition with a four-match ban, just as he did during this campaign.
Chelsea considered selling Drogba after his antics in Moscow and those at Stamford Bridge last year, but are expected to stand by him this time around, not least because he signed a new three-year contract last summer.

Biodun,kilonshele! It's obvious dat tears is still rolling down ur eyes when u wrote,mayb u're blinded by tears when wrote this piece of shit,for once acknowledge d fact dat d better team won not just once but over 2 legs,u still have d gut say to rubbish,u're an idiot! For attacking me over my opinion,am i not entitled to one? U and i knows anticident of Drogba, how he deceives d refrees by faking easy fall at any slight Contact to win undeserved freekicks and penalties,i he doesnt get he'll bullies most of this mediocre defenders in d EPL to score.if understand football u'll know u dat d art of defending is not kick d ball away from strikers u hav use any means fair sometimes unfair to stop and intimidate and frustrate any opposing strikers dat was wat d quartet did in the case of Drogba. I tip them to b among d favourites to win Champion League this year. Altho i'm not an inter fc fan but i think they hv a balance team that can Win d trophy.
Ok, give Drogba a 4 match ban. But then give him a penalty retroactive first for Mottas attempt to rape Drogba from behind. I would be mad too if someone tried to stick his ... up my ... in front of 40 000 people.
josimar charkes u are a big fooooooooool for ur comment coz i dont think u watch the game....what motta, samuel and lucio was doing is just wrestling and not defending, when you hold a player by shirt, pushing him and trying to frustrate him by all means is not a game, Jose tactics did work, agreed and Jose is a result oriented coach which he got again, lets see if he can progress with his dull tactics, Inter are no match when it comes to playing good football, I blame Ancelotti for making bad susbstitution that made chelsea suffered the defeat. Plz get that old man off and bring GUUS HINDINK.Ancelloti wont take chelsea anywhere, he has no game plan.
