Cech & Drogba Return Dates?

Posted on October 22nd, 2008 by Chelsea D

Petr Cech could be in line to return for tonight’s game against Roma following his recovery from a thigh injury.

Cech missed out on our 5-0 win over Middlesbrough on Saturday, with Carlo Cudicini having an easy time deputising between the sticks. However, Cech feels fairly confident he’ll soon be back in action stating “It is not worth going into action if you are not 100 per cent ready. The doctors will decide, naturally, but I am hopeful, my state of health has improved.”

If Cech doesn’t make it back tonight, it certainly won’t be any surprise to see him back in time for the Liverpool game, although recent reports suggest there could be another surprise return for that one in the form of Didier Drogba.

Despite recent suggestions the Ivorian would be out for at least another three weeks following the knee injury he sustained against CFR Cluj in our last Champions League game, he’s made better  progress than initially expected. And whilst he isn’t expected to make it back for tonight’s game – Sunday’s game against Liverpool could be the next date pencilled into his diary.

    I cannot help but say that Chelsea do have an excellent squad. When a player is injured is replace with another outstanding play without the team losing its balance.

    Chelsea lost Ricardo Carvalho, Joe Cole, Michael Ballack, Michael Essien, Ashley Cole, Petr Cech, Deco and Didier Drogba almost the first team. Yet they are playing exciting football and beating teams 5-0! I only hope they may not be over-confident. This week is going to be a tough one for Chelsea. Roma, Liverpool and then Hull City.

    I couldn’t agree with you guys more. Playing this well without most of the starting XI is very impressive and great to see. It just shows how deep the roster is. However, I can’t wait to see Drogba fit and back in form. For the time being, I’d love to see another strike from Belletti.
