LONDON (SW) - Chelsea will have to do without star striker Didier Drogba for their trip to Asia. Media speculate about the reasons.

The English side, who are to prepare for the coming season in Asia, claim that the player will be left at home due to a knee injury.

But the decision has given domestic media a chance to speculate about the exact reason, as Drogba appears to be on his way out of the club and may use this time to talk to other teams.

New Chelsea coach Luiz Felipe Scolari denies that option, and expects Drogba to form part of his squad for the coming season.
