"I can't wait to see him - my partner in crime," Drogba said. "It is a pity that I came back and he's not here any more, but I will be happy to see him.
"It doesn't matter the team where he is playing, I think he still belongs to us.ut coins He is a Chelsea player, for what he did. For me, he is part of the history of the club."
Drogba backed Lampard to show the professionalism for which he is renowned if he is selected by City at the Etihad Stadium.
"It's going to be difficult," Drogba added. "But I know Frank - he will do his best if he is playing."
