However, the tie at Stamford Bridge was not all good news for the 2012 Champions League winner. Chelsea, who already have to do without their top-scorer, Spanish striker Diego Costa, who picked up a hamstring injury in the recent international break, ruling him out for three weeks, have to now manage without Loic Remy.
The Frenchman, who joined for £10.5m from fellow London side Queens Park Rangers after a successful loan spell at Newcastle last season, hurt his groin and was replaced by Didier Drogba in the 15th minute after opening the scoring two minutes earlier.
REMY BLOW: The French striker picked up an injury in the 6-0 win over Maribor
With Remy set to undergo a scan on Wednesday to reveal the extensiveness of the damage, the team's Portuguese boss after the match claimed that the 27-year-old is suffering from a “muscular injury”, and revealed he is unlikely to feature on Sunday.
“Remy has a muscular injury. I don't know the dimension and I'm not worried. When a player is injured, play another one.
“I don't expect him to play. I don't like to speak about injured players.
“Tomorrow is our day off and the doctor is forbidden to call me to speak about injuries. I don't want to speak about injuries, Man United. I don't want to know.”
