Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou left out of Chelsea squad for Burnley

Carlo Ancelotti has left Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou out of his Chelsea squad for tomorrow's Premier League fixture at Burnley to allow the pair further time to recover from their exertions at the Africa Cup of Nations. The Ivory Coast players rejoined the club yesterday and the Chelsea manager will not throw them back into the fray until the away game at Hull next Tuesday. "Didier and Kalou came back yesterday and they are well and fit," said Ancelotti. "But they need to work for some days and so will not able to play tomorrow. They will play on Tuesday against Hull. Didier will stay here to train. He has come back very well, as has Kalou. They are fit but they travelled yesterday and so we don't want to take the risk for the next game." Chelsea go into the Burnley game one point clear of Manchester United with a game in hand. Sir Alex Ferguson's side face Arsenal on Sunday, by which point Chelsea's could be four points. "Our job is to win and play well tomorrow and then we can watch a fantastic game between Manchester United and Arsenal," said Ancelotti. "I am focused for tomorrow. If we are able to win, any result between United and Arsenal is good for us. But the Arsenal game is not a decisive match in terms of the title because there are a lot of games until the end of the season. "We could be in a very good position if we win our next two games. It won't be easy, though, because Burnley and Hull are teams involved in the bottom of the table, so they will put strong pressure and determination into the game. So we have to pay attention. We played very well at home against Birmingham and Sunderland and we want to do the same away."
