Hes working hard, hes working well. When he will be fit, he will be in the squad.Didier Drogba Didier Drogba has been hugely impressive since joining Montreal last summer Former Chelsea ace Drogba won the hearts and minds of Montreal fans as soon as he set foot in Quebec. He was mobbed by supporters at Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, and he hit the ground running on the pitch.The 37-year-old scored 12 goals in 14 regular season and play-off games for Montreal.His goal-scoring form, combined with his hold-up play, helped lift Montreal from their mid-season slump to a third-placed finish in the Eastern Conference.In the play-offs, the Impact beat arch-rivals Toronto FC in the knockout round 3-0 - Drogba scoring one - before losing to Columbus Crew in the semi-finals.Pre-season was unsettled with rumours surrounding the Impact talismans future, with strong suggestions in January that Drogba would make a return to Chelsea in a player/coach capacity.However, Drogba confirmed on Twitter that he would return to Montreal to play his first full season at the club.
