Remy blow puts veteran Drogba centre stage

Champions League Group G

Jose Mourinho has revealed he may have to turn to veteran Didier Drogba as his main striker after Loic Remy limped out of last night’s 6-0 Champions League demolition of Maribor.

With summer signing Diego Costa already on the casualty list, Remy limped out of the game with just quarter of an hour gone having earlier fired the home side into a 13th-minute lead, prompting the 36-year-old Ivorian’s quicker-than-expected introduction.
