Chelsea striker could face Ipswich in the cup
Luiz Felipe Scolari says Didier Drogba could return to the Chelsea squad against Ipswich Town and insists there is no problem with the striker.
Drogba has not even made the bench for Chelsea's last two games against Southend United in the FA Cup and Stoke City in the Premier League.
His absence from the squad sparked suggestions that the Ivory Coast ace was being made a scapegoat for the Blues' recent 3-0 defeat at title rivals Manchester United.
Scolari revealed before the weekend's win over Stoke that there was no issue with Drogba before omitting the forward from his plans for the 2-1 victory.
The Chelsea boss has again stressed that there has been no falling out and admits Drogba could be involved for this Saturday's FA Cup fourth-round tie against Ipswich.
Only a choice
"It's a normal situation in the club because it is only a situation where for these two games I chose other players," Scolari told
Chelsea TV.
"But maybe for next week Didier is together with the squad for the game against Ipswich. He doesn't have a problem with me and with the club.
"He is training very well. He starts to build again his condition very well, not only his fitness but technical also.
"It is only a choice by me for the moment for these two games."
