Shenhua stars back for game

DIDIER Drogba and Nicolas Anelka are back in Shanghai after a two-week break in the Chinese Super League with Anelka tipped to start for the game against Liaoning today.

Shanghai Shenhua's Argentine coach Sergio Batista said he needed to meet Drogba to check on his condition before deciding whether to play him in the home match against Liaoning Whowin.

"Nicolas (Anelka) will start. As for the other two, Didier (Drogba) and Giovanni (Moreno), I have not seen them," he said, adding that he had been told all the players were back in China. "When they arrive (at the stadium for training), I will communicate with them and see what their condition is, and decide whether they will take the field."

Anelka greeted fans at Hongkou Stadium yesterday but did not speak to reporters.
