Drogba out of World Cup with broken arm


Didier Drogba told teammate Kolo Toure that he will miss the World Cup after breaking his right arm Friday in a warmup match here on Friday, the AP said.

"For him, he said, the World Cup is finished," Toure said.

The 32-year-old Drogba was taken off 15 minutes into Cote d'Ivoire's 2-0 win over Japan after a high challenge by Japan defender Marcus Tulio Tanaka. He was then rushed to a hospital.

Team spokesman Eric Kacou told The Associated Press that "it is a fracture in his right arm."
