John Terry a concern as Chelsea face mega week

Chelsea 5 Newcastle 1: Chelsea may be way off the pace in the Premier League, but they are still one of England’s big beasts and the gulf between them and Newcastle will be demonstrated clearly over the next week or so.

While Steve McClaren’s men fly off to La Manga with their tails between their legs, Chelsea’s chances of ending the season with silverware will start to kick into gear.

Newcastle have nothing to play for except survival, and with 18 days until their next match, against Stoke, McClaren has arranged warm weather training and a couple of friendlies in the south of Spain.
