Chelsea's Remy ruled out of Leicester City encounter

Chelsea will be without Loic Remy yet again after Jose Mourinho ruled the injured striker out of Wednesday's Premier League match against Leicester City.

Mourinho confirmed Remy's absence following Chelsea's scoreless draw with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Remy has missed the last three matches because of a calf injury.

Remy could be joined on the sidelines by fellow striker Diego Costa if Mourinho chooses to rest the injured Spaniard. Didier Drogba would be the team's only natural striker available if the pair are left out of the team sheet.

Chelsea faced the same scenario during the draw with Arsenal, but elected to use Oscar as the lone striker before Drogba replaced him following a head injury.

Remy, who has not appeared in a game since April 4, has scored five goals since joining Chelsea from Newcastle United in the summer.
