Didier Drogba may have resolved his issues with the Montreal Impact, but that doesnāt mean the Ivorian is back in training.
One day after the Impact announced that theyād patched things up with Drogba after he refused to be in the 18 for Montrealās match against Toronto on Saturday, the 38-year-old Designated Player reportedly missed training on Wednesday in order to see a doctor about his back pain.
Drogba, who hasn't started since Sept. 24, was not in attendance at Sundayās match against Toronto after being told on Saturday that he wouldnāt be in the starting lineup against Toronto. Impact owner Joey Saputo said in a statement on Tuesday that the issues between the club and their star striker had been resolved, and that Drogba āaccepted to assume the role that the head coach sees fitā for the duration of Montrealās season.
The Impact will play at New England in their regular season finale on Sunday before beginning the playoffs with a Knockout Round match next Wednesday or Thursday. Itās not clear how Drogbaās reported back injury will affect his availability for any of Montrealās upcoming matches.
