Didier Drogba responds to Dean Ashton who said Chelsea legend changed the Premier League

By
Former Premier League striker Dean Ashton was full of praise for Didier Drogba and his impact on English football and the Chelsea legend was quick to reply.
Drogba is an undisputed Premier League legend, winning four Premier League titles, and scoring 104 goals in 254 league appearances.
Ashton played in the top flight for Norwich, West Ham, and England, before injury cruelly ended his career early.
He said: “I always thought, especially towards the end of my career, Didier Drogba came to the Premier League and I instantly thought; damn it. “I can’t do that. Now teams are going to want to play that way. Teams are going to expect their centre forward to do what he did, he did everything. Absolutely everything. “He was big and strong, and quick, he had great ability. He could hold the ball up and play, run the channels, he could get on the end of a clearance and make something out of it, intelligent in possession, and could score goals.

Granit Xhaka's place in Switzerland's World Cup squad is in doubt after the Arsenal midfielder picked up an injury in training. The Swiss FA confirmed Xhaka had to stop training on Thursday after injuring his knee in a duel. He was not sent to hospital and was instead treated and examined by the physio at the team hotel. A statement on the Swiss FA website said Xhaka reported feeling pain on the outside of his left knee and will be sent for an MRI scan before any further update on the injury is given but they have told Sky Sports: "It is too early to say if he will miss the tournament in Russia". Xhaka is part of coach Vladimir Petkovic's 26-man preliminary squad which also includes Stoke midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri and Arsenal target Stephan Lichtsteiner. Switzerland play Spain in a warm-up match on June 3. They begin the World Cup against Brazil on June 17, before facing Serbia and Costa Rica in group E. via Sky Sports
