All three have been absent from action recently with injuries and compassionate leave cited as reasons.
But for the Champions League semi-final 1st leg against Liverpool, all three will don their blue shirts and beat their chests and fight for the cause.
Chelsea will play a full-strength side even with the enforced absence of Michael Essien through suspension.
Petr Cech in goal will find his net protected by Ashely Cole, John Terry and Ricardo Carvalho - Paulo Ferreira should get the nod ahead of Juliano Bellitti at right back.
With Lamps and Ballack supported by Claude Makelele and Joe Cole.
Salomon Kalou will be expected to provide the width on the left, with Drogba looking to fire in the goals to make next week's second leg academic.
Certainly Chelsea have the players to nulify Liverpool's attack and have superior collective ability in midfield.
Where Chelsea might fall short is in attack where Drogba might find himself an isolated figure for much of the match.
Set plays will play their part and Chelsea's growing reputation for leaking goals from them will not be lost of the Scousers.
Chelsea are nine points better off than their rivals in the league and must consider themselves favourites to progress to the final in Moscow.
Now is the time to prove it boys.
C'mon the Blues
