Ivorian striker Didier Drogba may miss next year’s African Nations Cup as he faces a knee surgery that could rule him out for several months.

The Times announced in their Thursday edition that the 29-year old hitman had a scan on Wednesday that revealed degeneration in his left meniscus, which requires surgery.

According to the report, Chelsea’s medical staff is set to have a meeting with the player and the boss Avram Grant to decide on what’s best for the player and the team also.

Drogba was ruled out last season for three weeks and Chelsea failed to win a single match in his absence. If a surgery is recommended he will be out for five weeks before starting physical preparation again which means he won’t be available before February.
