John Terry backs Mourinho to dig Chelsea out as crisis deepens

Chelsea 1 Southampton 3: John Terry offered his backing to Jose Mourinho after Chelsea’s season took a significant turn for the worse on Saturday.

The centre-back and captain has found himself a victim of his club’s dismal start to the campaign, sitting out four of the last six games while Mourinho’s side have attempted to play themselves into form.

Restored to face Southampton, the former England defender had as uncomfortable an afternoon as any of his team-mates as he tried to handle the pace of Sadio Mane and the strength of Graziano Pelle.
