Ivanovic to Borini, who scored all our goals in 5-4 reserve win yesterday. 'You scored 5? Why are you here? You deserve seven days holiday!'
Is it just me or are Drogba's corners not the best?
Going to be interesting today. Glad Malouda is back.
Still no Lampard...
Also, Essien is out for this match (Gerrard must be glad).
Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has had treatment for malaria, according to Blues manager Carlo Ancelotti.
The Italian said he was unsure how the Ivory Coast forward picked up the tropical disease, but is now fine and will start against Fulham on Wednesday.
Drogba complained of a fever on the eve of Chelsea's game at Liverpool on Sunday although he played the second half of the 2-0 defeat.
"We found out [on Monday] when tests showed he had malaria," said Ancelotti.
"He has this virus and, obviously, he lost power and training.
"He lost his condition. He's had treatment and now he's OK. He'll come back immediately in the best condition.
"He had malaria. He had the tests in the last day, and they showed this kind of virus. Now he's good.
"I don't know where he got it from. I gave him a few days off and he went on holiday for a few days, and then he has malaria. But it's over now. He's OK."
Dont know if this has been mentioned here.....
