Didier Drogba Finally Undergoes Surgery, To Miss Start Of Chelsea Season

During his 2009-10 season for Chelsea, Drogba scored 37 goals in 44 all-competition matches, helping the Blues to a league-cup double.

Now returning from his post-World Cup break, Drogba has finally undergone the procedure and is expected to be out for three weeks. He joins defender Alex (thigh) and goalkeeper Petr Cech (calf) as first team players expected to miss the start of Chelsea’s title defense.
