Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has admitted that the Blues looked a little flat during their Communtiy Shield defeat to Manchester United at Wembley on Sunday.
The Ivorian insists however that the World Cup has affected some players, with late returns to the club meaning that pre-season training has been disrupted.
"We had a difficult pre-season, a lot of players were coming back from holidays," Drogba told Sky Sports News.
"I came back only 10 days ago. I think we have a lot of players like this coming back very late."
That limited pre-season training has made it hard for players to be at their sharpest, but Drogba admits that time is running out for the squad to find full fitness.
He added: "It's difficult to be fit after only days so we'll need more time but the competition is starting next week so we have to find a solution."
