Kaká says Drogba injury good for Orlando City, bad for competition

Kaká likes playing against the best, and Didier Drogba is one of the best.

The veteran Montreal striker led his team with 11 goals last season despite playing in just 11 games with nine starts. He has four goals so far this year, including one in each of the last three games.

But Drogba, 38, is working through a hip flexor injury and will not play against Orlando City when the teams meet at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Camping World Stadium. Reports out of Montreal said it was unlikely the 38-year-old would play regardless because of the increased likelihood of injury playing on the stadium's artificial turf field.
