Didier Drogba Chelsea Future Uncertain As He is Dropped From FA Cup Match Against Southend

The uncertainty surrounding Didier Drogba's future at Chelsea became more evident today when the Ivorian striker was dropped from the side to face Southend yesterday.What is more striking is the fact that he did not even travel with the team for the crucial FA Cup third-round replay at Root Halls tonight which was won by Chelsea 4-1.This has fuelled speculation that Didier Drogba could be well on his way out with Inter Milan being tipped as one of the destinations."I have looked at many games with Anelka and I have looked at the last few games with Didier," Scolari said Tuesday. "I have my opinion and I will put my opinion on the pitch every game."Anelka, who is currently the league's leading scorer with 14 goals in 18 games seems to be the number one choice with the Blues manager. On the other hand Drogba has just managed to hit the net once in four starts.Drogba was on the radar of French club Marseille and they had even approached Chelsea for recruiting Drogba. However, Marseille's main shareholder, Robert Louis-Dreyfus, has told French newspaper L'Equipe that Chelsea was not willing to sell Drogba. "They absolutely do not want to let him go," Dreyfus was quoted as saying.Bookmakers Skybet do not seem to be convinced with the statement made by Dreyfus and believe that Didier Drogba is on his way out with the Blues.SkyBet is offering odds on 8/11 that he's left Stamford Bridge by September.Drogba can also be backed to be still with the Blues at Evens with Skybet.Chelsea has been going through a rocky time off late and there are also talks of Big Phil Scolari being the next Premiership manager to leave post.It remains to be seen if that happens before Drogba takes any decision as it appears that it might play a big role in the future of the Ivorian striker at Stamford Bridge.
