Didier Drogba set to return for Chelsea against Wolves • Frank Lampard not yet recovered from hernia operation• 'Didier looks good and he trained well,' says ClementDidier Drogba looks set to return to lead the Chelsea attack against struggling Wolves on Saturday, but Frank Lampard will have to wait a bit longer for his comeback.Drogba has missed the Blues' last two matches because of a virus but has now resumed full training ahead of the visit of Mick McCarthy's side.Lampard, though, is expected to need more recovery time following his hernia operation. The 32-year-old has been out of action since 28 August.Chelsea's assistant first-team coach Paul Clement confirmed today: "The players who played in Moscow [on Tuesday] were given the day off. The substitutes and players recovering from injury or illness, like Didier Drogba, came in the afternoon and we had a good session with them. Didier looks good and he trained well."Lampard, however, needs more rehabilitation time before he can be considered by Carlo Ancelotti.Speaking to Chelsea TV, Clement continued: "Frank is progressing really well. He had a terrific session earlier in the week with [the assistant fitness coach] Chris Jones doing some individual work – he's really pushing himself. Frank is very frustrated and can't wait to get back.The centre-back Alex will not yet return to the first-team fold as he recovers from a thigh problem. His fellow Brazilian Ramires missed the midweek Champions League victory over Spartak Moscow because of an ankle injury, but should be back in contention this weekend.Didier DrogbaChelseaguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
