Didier Drogba has tested Jose Mourinho's tolerance by declaring Chelsea have lost the best defender in the world in William Gallas.

Gallas made the switch across London to Arsenal as part of the deal that took Ashley Cole in the opposite direction on transfer deadline day.
"William Gallas' departure is a massive loss," Drogba said. "He is one of the greatest defenders in the world.
"When it comes to the ability to play anywhere, he is the best on the planet. It is very hard to part with a player of Gallas' quality.
"But if that is what the club have done, it must be because they see sense in the deal," he told the Daily Express.
