Chelsea captain John Terry insists they have enough firepower to take care of Manchester United on Sunday.
Star man Diego Costa looks likely to miss out with hamstring and groin injuries, while Loic Remy is touch-and-go after limping off in the midweek win over Maribor.
That leaves Drogba as the only senior Chelsea striker left for the visit to Old Trafford.
Terry said: "We've got a big squad; Didier came on and showed what a great player he still is.
"The players are showing how important the depth of our squad could be this season.
"As the manager rightly says, everybody's got a part to play and we've seen that in the last few games."
