Florent Malouda could be dropped from the team that faces Blackburn Rovers due to his poor form. Drogba’s on-field relationship with strike partner Nicolas Anelka appears to have broken down, with the Ivory Coast hitman way short of his best and the French striker having scored just one Premier League goal since August.
With Florent Malouda also losing his way in front of goal, Chelsea’s misfiring forwards have contributed to the shocking run of 10 points from 11 games that has seen the champions plummet to fifth in the league.
Daniel Sturridge’s FA Cup double against Ipswich has propelled the England Under-21 man to the forefront of Ancelotti’s thoughts, with Drogba the shock potential casualty.
