bjd Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 I think we knew it was coming. On the offical site now, back in training in 3 weeks. Right time to do it really. Hopefully he will only miss a couple of games. It's no disaster.
Maksimov Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 I wonder if this means that Anelka will be played as the lone striker or will he continue playing on the right and Sturridge or Kalou will play as the lone striker? Or maybe we'll go back to 4-4-2...(?) I'm pretty sure Di Santo will not be a starter during Drogba's absence.
Mr Chelsea Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 if he was in need of an operation surely it would have been better for him to have had it whilst he was on his summer hols
charierre Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 if he was in need of an operation surely it would have been better for him to have had it whilst he was on his summer hols in an ideal world that is true, but to deny Didier the chance to play in a world cup would have been harsh. The start of the season shouldnt stretch us too much so better to get the niggles out of the way now.

I think he meant that the operation should have been done straight after Ivory Coast was knocked out of the World Cup, instead of waiting after he came back from his holidays.
The Machine Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 Something tells me its going to be one of those seasons for Chelsea, medically speaking of course.
dkw Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 Hopefully were getting them out of the way early in the season though. Surely we cant have as bad a season with injuries as the last one.
Cam Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 Hopefully were getting them out of the way early in the season though. Surely we cant have as bad a season with injuries as the last one. We definately could Imagine Drogba or Lampard going down with season ending injuries early in the piece. We'd struggle big time.
Tim W Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 Minimally Invasive Surgery Synonyms: keyhole surgery, laparoscopic surgery This involves procedures performed by entering the skin via small incisions or by a body cavity, with two aims: Produce the least possible damage to structures At the same time, achieve the same result as if performed by open or more invasive surgery Specialist equipment is required, including fibreoptics, camera and equipment with handles. So if it was a groin injury what cavity did they use?

lauren Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 So if it was a groin injury what cavity did they use? this is a question I would expect moi to ask. Cech, Alex, Benayoun also all out for early sea season.
moi Posted July 24, 2010 Posted July 24, 2010 this is a question I would expect moi to ask. Had it been Gerrard, I would have advised entering the groin through the nasal passages.
Spiller86 Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) Lucky we have a relatively straight-forward start to the season. Let's just hope we've saved up some injury credit for December when our hardest part of the run is. For me, with the injuries to Drogs, Cech and Alex and assuming the squad remains the same, our XI v West Brom is: Hilario, Ivanovic, Carvalho, Terry, Cole, Mikel, Essien, Lampard, Malouda, Kalou and Anelka. Still a pretty good XI, so I'm not too worried. Edited July 25, 2010 by Spiller86
evissy Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Had it been Gerrard, I would have advised entering the groin through the nasal passages. Because he is a d**khead and the groin area is close by..? :D

Tim W Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 this is a question I would expect moi to ask. I'll take that as a compliment
lil-drogba11 Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 He surely will be fit for Wigan(a) or Stoke(h) wont be fit for West Brom Team vs. Man U(community Shield) GK: Hilario LB: A.Cole CB: Terry CB: Alex or Carvalho RB: Bosingwa(if he is fit) CM: Lampard CM: Essien CM: Mikel RW: Kalou ST: Anelka LW: Kakuta(take off second half)
Mikstaw Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 (edited) I prefer Ivanovic than Bosingwa... Edited July 25, 2010 by Mikstaw

Hutch Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 good news about Drogba and Petr Cech, Sturridge's injury doesn't sound too serious, neither does Frank's illness, but still no date for Bosingwa's expected return. from Sky: Drogba & Cech set to be fit for start of the season Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti expects Didier Drogba and Petr Cech to be fit for the start of the new season. Drogba was a surprise inclusion in the Chelsea squad for their pre-season trip to Germany just one week after undergoing groin surgery. The Ivory Coast ace was expected to be sidelined for up to three weeks following the surgery, but although he will not figure in Sunday's clash with Eintracht Frankfurt he could be involved in the midweek game with Hamburg. Cech, who has been struggling with a calf problem, has not made the trip to Germany, but Ancelotti expects the custodian to be available for next weekend's Community Shield clash with Manchester United. "He [Drogba] is in good condition, he has recovered well from surgery so he will be able to play the next game [against Hamburg]," Ancelotti told Sky Sports News. "Yeah it is very good he is doing very well. "All our squad is improving our condition and I think we will be ready for the start of the season. "All the players in Germany will play tomorrow maybe only 45 minutes, but against Hamburg I want to put out the line-up that will play against Manchester United. "Petr Cech is good, I think he will be fit for the game against Manchester United. "I think that all the players will be fit against Manchester United and only [Jose] Bosingwa needs more time to be fit." Frank Lampard has not travelled with the squad to Germany because of illness but he will link up later next week, while Daniel Sturridge is missing with a minor ankle problem. LINK
dkw Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Superb news, though I hope we arent rushing them back for the opener.
Blue Steel Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Apparently Drogba and Cech will now both be fit for the community shield.
Andreas Posted August 2, 2010 Posted August 2, 2010 Love it, things looking good after all, lets bring home another community shield at the start of the season and hope things will be looking good at the end of the season I guess!
