Terry back in full training
Chelsea and England captain John Terry is back in full training and may well be fit enough to face Blackburn in the Barclays Premiership next Wednesday.
Terry has been sidelined with a calf injury following back surgery, but has rejoined the first team squad. Chelsea have struggled to cope in defence during Terry's absence but the centre-half says it is now time to put the pressure back on Manchester United following their weekend defeat at Arsenal.
Terry said: "I've been needing more power in my calf to join properly, but I have started full training again. I've managed to get some power back now. I still need to improve it and it's been taking longer than we thought. But I am delighted to be back involved with the lads."
Terry, who watched Chelsea's defeat at the hands of Liverpool from the touchline at Anfield, says the pick-up they needed was provided by Arsenal's fantastic comeback against United on Sunday.
Terry added: "I'm disappointed we lost at Anfield, obviously, and we need to pick ourselves up, but in a way that's already happened.
"When Manchester United scored I thought the game was over. But credit to Arsenal, they've given us another opportunity and it is time to put pressure on United now."
