"With Didier Drogba, I don't know how serious it is but I think he will give everything to play in this game."

Ivory Coast striker Drogba told French newspaper L'Equipe on Tuesday that there was "nothing serious" about his injury, adding that he would train this week.

On Terry's injury, the 30-year-old Striker added: "I have spoken to him. He will play in Moscow. No one wants to miss this gigantic match."

Chelsea are aiming to win their first European Cup in Moscow and stop their northern rivals winning a double after United edged the London side to the Premier League title.
