		<description><![CDATA[An injury can occur at anytime, in any form, and on the most innocuous athletic circumstance. Prevention, however, should come with some logical preparation. Maybe the logistics of Didier Drogba's situation is lost on an American soccer fan. This past Friday, one week from the start of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, the Ivory Coast striker suffered a broken elbow. Not in training, not in a freak accident. No - Drogba suffered the injury during a friendly match against Japan as a final warm up for the World Cup.
