contention for this weekend's trip to Manchester United.
The Frenchman limped out of Tuesday night's 6-0
Champions League Group G win over Maribor with a groin
injury shortly after opening the scoring.
Jose Mourinho, who is already without top goalscorer Diego
Costa for Sunday's clash at Old Trafford, said after the match
that he did not expect Remy to be fit to face United.
But Remy is hoping the injury is not too bad and is determined
to be available against Louis van Gaal's side.
"We will see with the scan," he said. "I really hope it is not too
bad. Fortunately I stopped playing because I felt something.
"I don't think it is too bad but I felt something. My groin.
"Yes, it's frustrating of course because I had a chance to play
because Costa is injured but I am not afraid.
"I don't think it is really bad. We will check and I really hope to
play again this weekend.
"It is a huge game but every game is tough. Especially this one
because it is a big game against a good opponent but I will try to
recover as quickly as possible."
Remy grimaced after scoring 13 minutes into the rout of
Maribor, but says he had already felt something was wrong.
He added: "It was a bit stiff, even my run and I didn't feel very
comfortable.
"That's why I prefer to come off but for me I have to care about
myself and if I'm not feeling very good it's better to leave for
another player who is 100 per cent."
