Drogba celebrates victory in the semi-final

African striker declares himself fit to play in a match that Sports betting enthusiasts are being told is the game to end all games.

Football betting fans may be interested to hear that Chelsea forward Didier Drogba thinks he will be fit to take on Manchester United in next Wednesday's Champions League final in Moscow.

Having injured his knee in Chelsea's final Premier League game of the season, it was feared that the 11/10 shots with 888Sport.com would be without their star striker for the eagerly-anticipated showdown in the Russian capital.

Blues' defenders John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho are also injury doubts for the game, which may give United – who are 8/11 favourites with 888Sport.com to win the trophy – the overall edge.

Reports emanating from the club claim that all three players will have recovered from their respective injuries in time for the match, which sees two English teams contest European football's biggest final for the first time.

Chelsea defeated United 1-0 in the FA Cup final at Wembley in 2007 but Sir Alex Ferguson's Reds go into the tie as the newly-crowned Premier League champions.
