Jose Mourinho has revealed that Didier Drogba's future remains in the balance.

The 37-year-old striker was signed on a one-year deal last summer and is believed to be considering whether to retire or to carry on for another year.

The Ivorian has played an important role for the Blues as the third striker this season, scoring six goals in 37 appearances.

However, Mourinho admitted he is yet to speak to Drogba, and thinks the decision may be one for owner Roman Abramovich.

"I didn't speak with him (yet)," Mourinho said. "I think it belongs to him: what he feels, what he thinks.

"This is a club thing. This is a Mr Abramovich thing. Mr Abramovich wants him to do what he wants in the club, but it's something Mr Abramovich has to tell him.

"He has to decide. But, obviously, he belongs to the history of this club. These guys are special players."
