Drogba misses international match

Didier Drogba has been ruled out of Ivory Coast's match against Rwanda on Saturday after suffering concussion against Norwich City on Saturday.

The Chelsea striker collided with Canaries goalkeeper John Ruddy during his side's 3-1 victory at Stamford Bridge and required immediate treatment on the pitch.

The 33-year-old was carried off on a stretcher and underwent a scan over the weekend, which came back all-clear.

Drogba was due to travel to Africa today to link up with his international colleagues but will instead remain under the care of Chelsea's medical staff.
