Well, the mystery that is Didier Drogba’s injury just gets deeper and deeper apparently. Because having questioned his status – and even his whereabouts – only two days ago, with him being named in the Ivory Coast squad to face Guinea on Wednesday, not only did he not play (although he did travel) but it’s actually been suggested he won’t do for some time.

Because despite Scolari’s suggestion before last week’s opening game against Portsmouth that Drogba would be out for around 15 days, the Ivorian’s international coach, Vahid Halilhodzic has said “Drogba will not be back before a month or a month-and-a-half. He has started to run but he will not be available for the match against Mozambique on September 5^th.”

From Chelsea’s point of view, we don’t seem to be hearing quite as much on the missing striker, although it’s suggested Scolari has ‘refused to rush Drogba back into action.’

So, when will we see him back in a Chelsea shirt?
