Shanghai Shenhua striker Didier Drogba could make his league debut for the club on Sunday.

Shanghai Shenhua boss Sergio Batista has claimed that Didier Drogba could make his league debut for the club on Sunday.

The 34-year-old joined the Super League club from Chelsea eight days ago, but he is yet to make his first appearance for the Chinese outfit.

"He is a player who could score many goals. We really expect some great performances in the future," Batista told reporters.

"But the truth is now he has not touched a ball in a few days. However on Sunday, we might let him play for about 30 minutes. He needs to reach 100% fitness step by step."

Shanghai currently sit 13th in the Chinese Super League.
