Saturday, 5 June 2010
SION, Switzerland, June 4 (AP): Didier Drogba's participation in the World Cup was uncertain after an Ivory Coast official said the captain broke his right arm on Friday.
Team spokesman Eric Kacou told The Associated Press that Drogba's fracture was confirmed by doctors after he was taken off 15 minutes into Ivory Coast's 2-0 win against Japan in a friendly. "It is a fracture in his right arm," Kacou said. "The doctor hasn't said yet whether he can play in the World Cup." The injury threatens to rob the tournament of one of Africa's and world football's biggest stars.
