Chelsea want Didier Drogba to face Manchester United
Drogba needed a breathing aid and was taken to hospital after the collision
Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas plans to push Didier Drogba "to the limit" in an effort to get him fit for their game at Manchester United on 18 September.
The striker was knocked out during his last appearance - Chelsea's 3-1 win over Norwich on 27 August.
Drogba will miss Saturday's trip to Sunderland and Tuesday's Champions League game against Bayer Leverkusen.
But Villas-Boas said. "Let's push it to the limit to try for him to be available for Manchester United."
Drogba was stretchered off midway through the second half of the Premier League game against Norwich at Stamford Bridge following a collision with City keeper John Ruddy.
The Ivory Coast forward has resumed light training sessions with the Chelsea physios but Villas-Boas confirmed: "He has to be authorised medically to make his full return to training.
"We just have to make sure that he's fully recovered before he comes back to training because that's the requirement you have to do neurologically."
Chelsea keeper Petr Cech will be available for the game at Sunderland after making a quicker than expected recovery from a knee injury, while defender David Luiz is also available after missing the start of the season with a thigh problem.
