The supporters of the Ivory Coast national team are anxiously awaiting news on Didier Drogba’s condition after he suffered a serious injury during a Champions League match. Drogba’s injury occurred after a duel with Portuguese player Pepe.
While attempting to control a long ball from his goalkeeper, Drogba was pushed in the back by Pepe, leading to a fall. Almost immediately, it became apparent that Drogba was in significant pain, particularly in his left shoulder, which appeared to have dislocated. Despite the intervention of Galatasaray’s medical team, Drogba had to leave the match at halftime during Galatasaray’s 1-6 defeat.
The initial assessment suggests a shoulder dislocation, a condition that typically requires several weeks of recovery. Galatasaray has announced that Drogba has begun treatment. This unfortunate injury puts Drogba’s availability in doubt, particularly for the first leg of the 2014 World Cup play-off between Ivory Coast and Senegal.
