(The Sports Xchange) - Superstar forward Didier Drogba's absence from the Montreal Impact roster is unlikely to end in Thursday's Eastern Conference knockout-round playoff match against hosts D.C. United.

Despite scoring 10 goals in 22 appearances, Drogba has not played since the end of September - partly due to a feud over playing time with manager Mauro Biello and more recently because of a back ailment.
