MLS Star Watch: Lampard's return not enough to stop NYCFC slump

Frank Lampard returned from his latest injury, but Didier Drogba sat out with a toe injury as the two Chelsea legends struggle to get going in MLS.

It has been a tough go in MLS for former Chelsea legends Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba, who both have endured slow starts to their time in a new league.

Drogba missed the Montreal Impact's vital derby clash against Toronto FC with a toe injury, and the Impact suffered a 2-1 loss that spurred the firing of head coach Frank Klopas. The Impact are 0-3 in all competitions since Drogba made his debut, and are in jeopardy of missing the playoffs if they don't start to generate results.
