Chelsea star Didier Drogba has declared he will be fit to play in next week's Champions League final.

Drogba's participation in Moscow had been in doubt after he picked up a knee knock in Sunday's draw with Bolton.

The Ivory Coast international had an ice pack strapped to his knee after the game and Blues boss Avram Grant admitted Drogba's fitness was a worry for him.

Drogba has played down the severity of the injury and insists he will be fit in time for the clash with Manchester United.

"I got a blow on my knee which got surgery, and it had a bad reaction," Drogba told L'Equipe. "I immediately put some ice on, but there is nothing serious.

"I will resume training sessions this week.

Confident

Drogba is also confident Chelsea skipper John Terry will be fit to start in Moscow despite suffering a dislocated elbow at the weekend

"There is nothing more serious with John," added Drogba. "I had a talk with him. He will play at Moscow.

"Anyway, no one wants to miss that huge rendezvous. It is the match of our careers, to me it is for sure.

However, the former Marseille hot-man refused to discuss his future with reports last week suggesting Milan were closing in on his signing.

"Today I just have the Moscow final in my mind. What will happen in June or July? I don't know yet," continued Drogba.
