Terry hearing goes into a third day

John Terry’s disciplinary hearing will go into a third day today as the Chelsea skipper continues to contest a charge of using racist language.

Terry is facing an FA independent regulatory hearing into a charge that he used racist language towards QPR’s Anton Ferdinand in October last year. The 31-year-old was accompanied by Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck at the hearing at Wembley Stadium yesterday, and the defender departed shortly after 1pm.

He is expected to return today to hear evidence in his favour — with team-mate Ashley Cole likely to be called upon again to testify.
