We aren't there! Drogba has had surgery. The break is reportedly near, not in, his elbow, and they are saying he may play yet.

You've forgotten the Manx. And you've forgotten the English, whom, as the poster averred, are going to miss Ferdinand quite badly.

And there was the case of this Italian who played in the debut of Italy in USA 94, went through knees surgery and played the final match. Baresi ? JV

And unfortunately, the list is growing with Robben also in jeopardy: "Robben hurt himself while attempting a backheel just three minutes from the end of the match against Hungary here and had to limp off."
