Didier Drogba Out: League’s Best Player To Miss Chelsea’s Match Against Aston Villa

According to the official website of Chelsea FC, Didier Drogba will miss the weekend's match with a fever. Drogba has scored six goals in seven matches for Chelsea, including yet another against Arsenal two weeks ago. The striker won the Premier League's Golden Boot last year and seems in no hurry to stop scoring, so Aston Villa fans will be thrilled that he won't be included in the lineup.

Chelsea will be pleased that their defense, at least, will be strengthened. John Terry was sidelined for the England match against Montenegro but will be available on Saturday. Aston Villa, meanwhile, will also be missing their star striker, Gabriel Agbonlahor, while Emile Heskey faces a late fitness test.
