Didier Drogba

Key Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has been ruled out of action for up to three weeks due to a broken rib sustained during the Blues' recent triumph over Manchester United, according to The Sun.

It is expected the injury occurred during a clash with defender Jonny Evans (pictured).

The powerful Ivory Coast international, therefore, is likely to be omitted from Carlo Ancelotti's line-up against London rivals Arsenal on November 29.

Chelsea could also be without Jose Bosingwa and Frank Lampard for that tie, while Ashley Cole and John Terry are also injured.

Following the United upset, club medics scanned Drogba's chest. The conclusion was that Drogba had only suffered bruising.

SunSport, though, claim extensive damage had been done and will cut short his international duty in order to return to Stamford Bridge on Monday.
