(CNN)  -- Ivory Coast coach Sven-Goran Eriksson is set to play his injured captain Didier Drogba from the start of their crucial World Cup Group G clash against Brazil on Sunday. Drogba fractured his arm during a pre-World Cup warm-up match against Japan but still managed 25 minutes during Ivory Coast's 0-0 draw against Portugal in their opener on Tuesday. The Chelsea star wore a cast to protect his injury and came close to making the breakthrough after coming off the bench. Former England boss Eriksson was clearly satisfied with what he saw and his performances in training. "It wouldn't be surprising if Drogba plays from the start against Brazil. He came on for 25 minutes against Portugal and it went well," Eriksson told AFP.
