MONTREAL (Reuters) - Didier Drogba has returned to Major League Soccer's Montreal Impact after abruptly leaving for one game when told he would not be in the starting lineup, the club said on Tuesday.

The 38-year-old former Chelsea striker, who has 10 goals and six assists in 18 starts this season, missed Sunday's game but the team said in a statement that the two sides have since met and resolved their issues.
