Blues striker still searching for full fitness

Didier Drogba has issued a stark warning to the rest of the Premier League that he is still not 100 per cent fit this season. The Ivory Coast ace has helped Chelsea to the top of the Premier League and scored five goals as they prepare for the visit of Arsenal on Sunday, live on Sky Sports HD2 & 2. Drogba underwent a hernia operation to cure a long-standing problem in August after putting off the surgery until the end of the World Cup in the summer. The 32-year-old admits he is still playing catch-up in a bid to regain top fitness and is hoping to be back to his best in the next couple of weeks. "It is a strange start to the season for me, I scored goals and made some assists but I am not really 100 per cent yet," said Drogba. "With the surgery I had in pre-season it is a bit difficult for me to catch up. "But I am doing my best and I hope that maybe in one or two weeks I will be better."
