Drogba out for Genk

champions league live betsDidier Drogba will miss Chelsea's Champions League match with Genk due to having screws removed from his arm after breaking it before last year's World Cup.

The Ivorian striker had surgery last year after the injury, and will miss tommorow clash with Genk as well as the away clash to Blackburn, for which he was already suspended.

The 33-year-old was red-carded against QPR for a lunge on Adel Taraabt which led to a three-game suspension, of which two have already been served.

This was the only team news revealed by Andre Villas-Boas in his pre-match press conference, however, as he maintained that there are still decisions he needs to make following their 5-3 defeat on Saturday at home to Arsenal.

A squad of 20 players travelled to Belgium in preparation for the game, with Nicolas Anelka among them after missing the weekend's game through injury.
