It looks like Chelsea will have to use Remy and/or Drogba for the last matches of the season as Costa is expected to miss at least one month of game time due to another hamstring injury. Many expected this from the Spaniard who since trying to play for Atletico in the Champions League final, has struggled to recover and get to 100%. According to ESPNFC, Costa was well aware of the risks of playing at maximum intensity game after game. Mourinho also knew that there is a weak spot in the Spaniard’s physical state. Unfortunately being number one on a constant basis and not having at least a couple of months to fully recover, could cost Chelsea’s number one scorer, the rest of the season.
Remy will have the chance to play more and prove himself. He already made the first few steps by helping the Blues secure the win against Hull. The Frenchman has been waiting for a chance like this for the entire season and it is very unlikely that he will disappoint. The 28 year old who only scored his 4th Premier League goal against Hull, has at least one month to look forward to. Costa is already rumored to miss all of Spain’s qualifying matches that are to take place before June. To be fair, it would be best for the striker to rest and get back on his feed for good. Remy is more than capable of helping Chelsea secure the Premier League title.
