Injured Heinze sidelined for three weeks

Share Marseille’s Argentine defender Gabriel Heinze will be out for around three weeks after injuring himself in his country’s friendly with Germany, his club announced on Thursday.

An X-ray revealed “a small crack at the top of the right fibula”, according to a Marseille statement. Heinze sustained the injury in a tackle by Germany striker Lukas Podolski in the 48th minute of Argentina’s 1-0 victory in Munich on Wednesday and was unable to continue.

This latest setback comes shortly after Heinze returned from a five-week stint on the sidelines with a hamstring strain sustained in his side’s 1-1 draw at Bordeaux on January 17.

Heinze’s unavailability falls at a bad time for OM coach Didier Deschamps, whose team face a tight schedule in March when they will take on Lorient, Toulouse and Lyon in the league, Benfica home and away in the Europa League and Bordeaux in the League Cup final on March 27. Drogba hopes for improvement under new coach

Tweet Share (GSM) – Ivory Coast star Didier Drogba is hoping a new manager will improve the national side ahead of the World Cup finals. Despite having guided them to South Africa, the Elephants sacked coach Vahid Halilhodzic over the weekend.

Currently, Guus Hiddink, who trained Drogba for several months in his Chelsea stint, is the favorite to take charge of Ivory Coast during the finals before he takes over as Turkey coach in August.

“There are many stories around,” Drogba told Sky Sports when asked about Hiddink. “I hope the manager we get will help us improve and help us play better than we are at the moment.”

Drogba was speaking following Ivory Coast’s 2-0 defeat at the hands of South Korea. “The result is not good, but it was very specifically for training,” said the Chelsea star.
