Didier Drogba has warned his Chelsea team-mates they face a battle to retain their Barclays Premier League title this season after losing the Community Shield to Manchester United on Sunday.
It was Chelsea's fourth consecutive loss in their pre-season schedule and Drogba admits Carlo Ancelotti's side have still not warmed up properly yet.
Ancelotti insists there is no major cause for concern as the Blues prepare for the visit of newly-promoted West Brom to Stamford Bridge this weekend.
However, with so many of the senior squad having been away on extended breaks after the World Cup, while the likes of Michael Essien and John Obi Mikel are coming back from long-term injuries, Drogba is not in agreement his Italian boss.
First: Never trust what you read in the dailymail. second, I think this years PL is gonna be a fight against United and Chelsea, just like last season. Impossible to know whos gonna take the title. I am pretty sure Chelsea is as good prepared as in the last season. Why are they not? The reasons written in this article is no reason!
