Both the Telegraph and Guardian web sites are suggesting he won't start tomorrow. Is he injured, sick, out of favour or being lined up for transfer?

Torres (for some strange reason) is the preferred striker there atm.

Thanks Richt could be tinker time.

After the turn around in the second half last week you'd have thought there's a high chance Chelsea will start with the front 3 that finished that game: Malouda-Drogba-Anelka.

In the real world, oligarchs on £50,000,000 ego trips usually get their way whether it be with women or junior employees like football club managers.

In the real world many would snigger at the amount paid.

Hasn't started any game this season.

Doubt he start next week now

"Chelsea tear up the other end in search of a quick response and as Drogba leaps to challenge for the ball, Ruddy accidentally punches him in the face. Drogba is out cold as he falls to ground and lands horribly. That was very nasty."

"Drogba requires lengthy treatment and will need to be taken off here. He was unconscious for a while"
