Chelsea are sweating over the fitness of Didier Drogba for the UEFA Champions League final after he collected a knee injury late on against Bolton.

The striker got a kick on his left knee with ten minutes left of the Stamford Bridge clash, but was forced to soldier on as The Blues had used all of their substitutes.

Chelsea had been leading thanks to Andrei Shevchenko's goal, but Bolton rescued a draw courtesy of Matthew Taylor's last-gasp strike.

With the Premier League season now over, all eyes have turned to the Champions League final between Avram Grant's side and newly-crowned champions Manchester United.

Grant has given a worrying view on Drogba's injury, although he is not willing to rule the Ivory Coast international out of the Moscow clash until further scans are conducted.

"He could not come off because we had used all our substitutes," stated Grant on Drogba.

"He did everything to finish the game. It does not look so good but we need wait again."

No break

Meanwhile, Grant has confirmed captain John Terry did not break his elbow after being forced off early on, although it is too early to say if he will be available against The Red Devils.

"John did not break his elbow," he continued. "But we need to wait and see. We will know if he is fit for the final in a few days.

"I don't want to see the day when John Terry is not confident of being fit. It is good news that he didn't break his elbow. He is strong enough to recover but we will wait and see.

"It is firstly the decision of the medical department to see if he can play or not but there is no need to rush - we have time."
