Montreal Impact's Didier Drogba starts against Chicago Fire
Montreal Impact forward Didier Drogba will start for the first time since joining Major League Soccer as his side takes on the Chicago Fire at Stade Saputo.
The star striker featured for half an hour against the Philadelphia Union a few weeks ago but suffered a toe injury that ruled him out for the Amway Canadian Championship final against the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Drogba and fellow designated player Ignacio Piatti were named to the starting XI by new interim head coach Mauro Biello. Piatti is also returning from an injury-related absence.
The former Chelsea man drew a massive crowd at his debut match in Montreal, selling out Stade Saputo.
