Chelsea said they expect their star frontman to return to training in "approximately three weeks" - the same day they kick-off their new Barclays Premier League campaign at home to West Bromwich Albion on 14th August.The surgery certainly makes it highly unlikely that Drogba will play in the Community Shield against Manchester United on 8th August. Will Chelsea be able to defend their title with injured players Drogba,Cech,Alex and the transfer of Joe Cole to Manchester United?
