Soccer Betting Lines

06/04/2010 - Sion, Switzerland (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba could miss the 2010 World Cup after he reportedly suffered a broken arm in a 2-0 friendly win over Japan on Friday.

Drogba left the field in the 15th minute after a challenge from Japan's Marcos Tulio Tanaka, and according to French newspaper L'Equipe, scans have revealed a broken arm that will likely force him to miss this summer's tournament.

The 32-year-old Drogba led the English Premiership with 29 goals for league champions Chelsea, and if he is forced to miss the tournament it would be a huge blow to the Ivory Coast, which will face Brazil, Portugal and North Korea in a tough Group G.
