Striker Didier Drogba has been singled out by Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink as one the key factors behind the team's resurgence as the Blues host Wigan tonight.

Drogba had been frozen out at Stamford Bridge by former boss Luiz Felipe Scolari but was restored to the side immediately after the former Brazil coach was sacked earlier this month. And, after scoring in the 1-0 win at Aston Villa last week, Drogba scored another crucial goal in Wednesday's Champions League win over Juventus.

Hiddink hailed the Ivory Coast striker. "I'm very positive about Didier's contribution. On the pitch he's fighting for every ball and off it he's a great example in the dressing room. He is very committed so I cannot find one detail that's not okay," he said.
