Didier Drogba: Likely to Be Available Monday

Drogba (ankle) is expected to be available for Monday's Premier League opener against Burnley. "I think he can play Monday," manager Jose Mourinho said. "I cannot say now yes for sure, but normally I think he will."

Analysis:

Even if he were fully fit, Drogba isn't expected to start the match, as Diego Costa is firmly entrenched as Mourinho's chosen sole-striker.
