Didier Drogba to carry Olympic torch

Chelsea striker Didier Drogba will reportedly carry the Olympic torch through Swindon on Wednesday afternoon.

The Ivory Coast international, who scored the winning penalty during Saturday's Champions League final against Bayern Munich, will be picked up at Lime Kiln.

After that, he will be transferred to Royal Wootton Bassett before moving on to Swindon.

He is expected to reach Swindon town centre at approximately 1.30pm.

News of Drogba's participation has come on the same day that he is believed to have told his teammates that he will leave Chelsea this summer.
