Drogba Could Face Manchester Unitedas Chelsea Hit By Injury Crisis by LeoSanchez(m): 11:04pm On Oct 21, 2014 |
Loic Remy stood in for the injured Diego Costa but was himself substituted just minutes after opening the scoring against Maribor having injured his groin whilst shooting Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has admitted that Didier Drogba could start Sunday's clash with Manchester United afte r Loic Remy limped out of the 6-0 win versus Maribor. Mourinho expects Remy to be out for "a couple of weeks" with the injury, while first-choice forward Diego Costa has missed the Blues' last two games with a hamstring complaint and mystery surrounds his fitness. Remy started well in the clash with the Slovenian champions and gave the home side the lead in the 13th minute with a precise driven effort from the edge of the penalty area. Yet he was substituted just two minutes later, having hurt his groin in the process of shooting. Should both Remy and Costa miss the trip t o Old Trafford on Sunday, club legend Drogba could be given the nod to lead the line as Chelsea look to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table. "I was not expecting [Drogba] to play 75 minutes," Mourinho said. "He had to come on as the striker. It was too early for the kids to come on and play 75 minutes. "He could be there [against Manchester United]. It was good for him to be on the pitch."
