Chelsea Football Club has today released a statement regarding incidents surround Didier Drogba at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.

It reads:

'Chelsea Football Club will be co-operating fully with the Football Association and Metropolitan Police processes that are now under way regarding the regrettable incidents on Wednesday night.

'We welcome Burnley's assistance in trying to help identify the small minority of their support who spoiled a great occasion for their club.

'Although Didier Drogba was hit by an object, that does not excuse his subsequent actions. He also recognises that, has not sought to justify it that way, has sincerely expressed his regret and has apologised for the incident. The matter will be dealt with internally by the club after the FA and police processes are completed.'
