London team may face Moscow's "Spartak" in Tuesday's Champions League match without striker Didier Drogba.

The striker did not play in the weekend's "Premier" league match against "Aston Villa", so the team's coach Carlo Ancelotti hoped that Drogba would at least be ready for the Champions League battle.

"I doubt if Didier will play," C. Ancelotti said. "He hasn't trained for quite a long time, and it's not easy to return to the lineup like that."
