Halilhodzic admits Chelsea's Drogba some weeks away

Ivory Coast coach Vahid Halilhodzic has revealed Chelsea striker Didier Drogba is still some weeks away from returning to action.

Drogba is struggling with injury, but was with the Ivory Coast squad in Paris this week. Halilhodzic revealed: "In training, he could run a bit, but not a lot.

"He won't be able to play in the World Cup qualifier against Mozambique (on September 5), that I know for sure. He certainly needs another two weeks - at least - to recover."
