Drogba robbed in Ivory Coast


 The iconic Galatasaray striker had €7,500 (£6,400) stolen from him when his hotel was raided during a visit back to his homeland but no suspects have been arrested


Galatasaray striker Didier Drogba was robbed in his hotel while on
holiday in Abidjan.

 The 35-year-old striker, who was back in his Ivory Coast
homeland for a brief visit, returned to his room on June 12 to find
his luggage unpacked and some €7,500 (£6,400) missing.

 The Chelsea legend immediately reported the incident to the
management of Hotel Ivoire, a five-star establishment and the
country's biggest hotel, where several players from the national
team spend their holidays.

 Nobody has been arrested for burglary and the funds have not
been recovered, according to the police, despite an investigation
being opened.

 Ivory Coast booked their place to the third and final round of
World Cup qualifiers without Drogba but coach Sabri Lamouchi has
suggested that the Elephants' all-time top scorer could return to
the international fold for the next round of friendlies.
