Didier Drogba's long-awaiting book signing was cancelled yesterday prompting one wag to suggest that maybe it was a wrist and not a knee injury the striker sustained had on Wednesday night.
Drogba was carried off the pitch in Romania in agony.
Did he realise he would not be able to shift signed copies of his life story - I guess we will never know. The club cite unforeseen circumstances for the cancellation.
Still some bright news is that Droga may be back in action in a month or so rather than three months as first believed.
But sadly he won't feature in Sunday's clash with Aston Villa.
Carvalho, Deco and Essien won't play with Ashley Cole a doubt.
Alex and John Terry should be fit while there is a good chance Joe Cole could turn out at some point.
