Drogba and Terry fit for final

Chelsea FC striker Didier Drogba insists both he and club captain John Terry will overcome injuries in time to be fit for the UEFA Champions League final against Manchester United FC.

'Match of our careers'
Drogba jarred his left knee and Terry dislocated his left elbow in the 1-1 draw against Bolton Wanderers FC on Sunday, but the Ivorian said there was "nothing serious" about his injury. He added of Terry: "I have spoken to him. He will play in Moscow. No one wants to miss this gigantic match, the match of our careers."

Injury-hit season
Drogba scored twice in the second leg of Chelsea's semi-final victory against Liverpool FC, and is coming back into form after season that has been disrupted by a knee injury. Nevertheless, his six UEFA Champions League goals are second only to Cristiano Ronaldo and he expects more success in Moscow, despite the disappointment of finishing runners-up behind United in the Premier League for the second year running.

Carvalho back
"The Champions League is different," said Drogba, who scored the only goal of the FA Cup final between the teams last season. "It will play itself out over 90 or 120 minutes like the FA Cup final last year." Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho is also expected back in training on Wednesday following a back problem.
