Chelsea news: Didier Drogba lucky to be alive, Carlo Ancelotti looking to return to the EPL
Didier Drogba talks about scary head injury
Chelsea striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Didier-Drogba-c11044 revealed he was considered himself lucky to have recovered from the head injury he sustained during the English Premier League fixture against Norwich City. The collision against Norwich City goalkeeper John Rudy left the 33-year-old
Ivorian unconscious with a concussion and a perforated eardrum.
The fixture against Norwich City took place before the international break and Drogba has been out since then, on the slow road to recovery. The striker made an appearance on the bench against Fulham in midweek for the third round of the Carling Cup.
In a press conference, the Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas hinted that Drogba could finally make his awaited return over the weekend. That means Drogba could either start against Swansea City, or be brought on sometime later on in the game.
The striker admitted he had been extremely scared after regaining his consciousness after the injury, when he woke up in the hospital. In addition to the expected confusion, he was in a lot of pain but revealed he had been well taken care of by the Chelsea
medical staff and the doctors at the hospital.
Drogba said in an interview:
“I was scared. I couldn't remember anything from after Norwich equalised until I was being rushed to hospital. I didn't know what was going on.
But I'm really grateful to everyone who helped me, the stadium staff and the medics who calmed me down. They told me I'd been unconscious for between six to eight minutes.”

season and was replaced by Andre Villas-Boas in the summer.
With the former AC Milan boss having moved to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 or any other country. He revealed he did not necessarily want to take a year off from managing and would
consider an offer which he felt was good enough.
