Cote d'Ivoire captain Didier Drogba has declared he will be fit to play in next week's UEFA Champions League final for his English club Chelsea.

Drogba's participation in the Moscow match against Manchester United had been in doubt after he picked up a knee knock in Sunday's draw with Bolton Wanderers in the final league match of the season.

Drogba had an ice pack strapped to his knee after the game and Blues manager Avram Grant admitted Drogba's fitness was a worry for him.
