Ivory Coast manager Sven Goran Eriksson has indicated that star striker Didier Drogba could start their World Cup showdown with Brazil.

Drogba came on as a substitute wearing a protective cast on his fractured elbow in their opening game against Portugal, but Eriksson said that the Chelsea forward could be ready to play 90 minutes.

And Eriksson has insisted his side will go all out for the win against the Brazilians, although the Swede admitted a draw would still be a good result.

He said: “A draw would be a good result against the number one team, but a win would be fantastic.”
