Loic Remy set to start for Chelsea against Maribor

French International Loic Remy is set to replace Dinjured striker Diego Costa yet again for Chelsea.

Jose Mourinho might opt French International Loic Remy, instead of Ivorian Didier Drogba as Diego Costa is deemed unfit after carrying an injury in the recently held international break. Remy started the match for Chelsea in recent 2-1 win over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.

Didier Drogba has started once for Chelsea since re-signing for the London club after spending a couple of seasons with Turkish Club Galatasaray. Loic Remy on the other hand started twice since moving from Queens Park Rangers. Diego Costa has scored nine goals for Chelsea already while the other strikers are yet to open their score for the new club.

Mourinho has said that they are focused on the fixture against Maribor at the moment. ‘We want all three points at Maribor and we do not care about the next match just now. We have our striker injured, but when one gets out, it paves the way for another to take his chance.’, said the Portugese.

Chelsea will play Manchester United in Premier League fixture this weekend as they are five-points ahead in the premier league table.
