• Didier Drogba recovers from knock in time to play
• Chelsea still have five players ruled out of United match

The Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has recovered from a training knock and will lead their attack against Manchester United at Old Trafford tomorrow.

Drogba sat out last weekend’s 7-1 victory over Aston Villa and missed two training sessions after collecting a minor leg injury in training.

Michael Essien (knee); Ashley Cole (ankle); Ricardo Carvalho (ankle) and Jose Bosingwa (knee) are all sidelined along with Branislav Ivanovic (knee).

The Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti also believes Wayne Rooney’s absence with the injury picked up at Bayern Munich on Tuesday will give his side the edge at Old Trafford.
