LONDON: Chelsea striker Didier Drogba (pic) insists he won’t rush back from the knee injury which has forced him to miss the start of the season.
The 30-year-old has been sidelined with the problem since the club’s pre-season tour to Asia and Russia.
The Ivory Coast star continued his rehabilitation as he played in a reserve match against Arsenal on Tuesday, but he has no intention of risking his long-term fitness by playing before he is completely fit.
“I had good feelings, but it is a bit early to say I am in good shape,” Drogba told Chelsea TV.
“It is really hard because this is the first time for many years I have been out for three months and it is really difficult to come back. I need time, but the good thing is the club understand I need time to be fit because they know when I am fit, I will give everything for the team.
