Remy came off the bench to score in the 73rd minute of Chelsea's 3-0 win over Tottenham on Wednesday.

Didier Drogba got the start ahead of Remy in place of the suspended Diego Costa, with the former actually scoring and grabbing an assist in the easy victory. However, both men figure to be on the bench come Saturday at Newcastle, with Costa eligible to play again.

With Diego Costa suspended, Remy could get the start Wednesday against Tottenham.

Manager Jose Mourinho refused to tip his hand Tuesday about whether Remy or Didier Drogba would get the start in Costa's absence, though either choice would be a solid fantasy option at a price significantly lower than Costa's in salary cap formats.

Remy (groin) was fit to be available off the bench Saturday against Liverpool, but he went unused.

Remy had missed the previous few matches due to a groin injury, but he looks poised to make his true return Nov. 22 against West Brom.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said Friday that Remy has returned to fitness following a groin injury and he will "be involved" in Saturday's match against Liverpool.

Mourinho also said Diego Costa will start the match, so Remy is likely only to be involved off the bench, which certainly limits his fantasy upside.

Remy will not play Sunday against Manchester United due to his groin injury, and he is expected to miss two to three weeks, manager Jose Mourinho confirmed Friday.

On the plus side for Chelsea, Diego Costa may be able to return from his hamstring injury, though if he is ultimately unable to be fit enough, Didier Drogba or Andre Schurrle could start up front.

Remy is not expected to play in Chelsea's Premier League match at Manchester United on Sunday after picking up a muscle injury in Tuesday's Champions League match against Maribor.

Remy injured himself on the opening goal of Chelsea's 6-0 rout and figured to be in line for another start with Diego Costa (hamstring) still sidelined. With both out, Didier Drogba, who replaced Remy after he suffered the injury Tuesday, could get the start, though he just returned from an ankle injury.

Remy scored in the 13th minute of Chelsea's Champions League match against Maribor on Tuesday, but came off immediately after due to an adductor injury, according to Henry Winter of the Daily Telegraph.

Remy got the start in place of the injured Diego Costa (hamstring) but will be replaced by Didier Drogba, who has been battling an ankle injury of late.
