Drogba 'so sorry' for misses

Didier Drogba has apologised for missing the chances that cost Chelsea two Premier League points against Everton on Sunday.

The striker missed a number of opportunities to put Chelsea in control – including one from six yards – before putting them in front with a 71st-minute header.

But his failure to kill off Everton at Stamford Bridge came back to haunt Avram Grant's side two minutes from time when Tim Cahill brought the scores level at 1-1 with an overhead kick.

"It was nice for me to score but not nice for me to miss the chances I had," Drogba said. "The first one in the first half was difficult because of the bounce but I had a big chance to score. I was so sorry for my team. We can't be happy with the point – but we didn't lose."

Chelsea, who already have Petr Cech (calf) and John Terry (knee) on the injury list, are still waiting to discover the extent of Ricardo Carvalho's back injury. The Portuguese defender, who was forced off in the opening half, will have a scan to determine the extent of the damage.
