Didier Drogba has asked for patience in his bid to show some of his former brilliance after returning to Chelsea.
The 36-year-old missed last Saturday's Premier League defeat of Swansea with an ankle problem, but was thrust into the starting line-up for Wednesday night's Champions League clash with Schalke.
Drogba was unable to add to his 157 Blues goals - accrued over eight years, from 2004 to 2012 - and Chelsea were punished as the Germans claimed a 1-1 draw.
