Chelsea 6-0 Maribor [ + Video]

A 6-0 scoreline against Champions League minnows Maribor on Tuesday only told half the story for Chelsea.

Loic Remy, Didier Drogba, John Terry and Eden Hazard were all on the scoresheet to help the Blues maintain their impressive start to the campaign, ensuring they are flying high in Europe as well as in the Premier League.

That's 10 wins in their opening 12 matches, but while the goals were flowing, it came at a cost. Remy limped off injured after just 16 minutes.

This means manager Jose Mourinho must be looking ahead to this weekend's trip to Old Trafford—where Chelsea will face Manchester United—with an air of trepidation.

Louis van Gaal's side have struggled defensively this term and Chelsea would have been expected to take advantage of their frailties, yet it's going to prove difficult without any strikers.

Diego Costa was missing from action for the second game running, as his troublesome hamstring continues to leave him sidelined. Now Remy has been added to a growing injury list.

It's a massive concern, despite Mourinho trying to play it cool in the post-match press conference.

“It's a muscular injury, I don't know the dimension and I am not worried,” said the Chelsea manager. “When a player is injured, play another one. No problem.

“No, I don't expect [Remy] to be fit to face United. Normally a muscular problem is a couple of weeks.”
