Terry fit for Charlton clash

Chelsea skipper John Terry will be available for Saturday’s clash with Charlton but the club is still waiting for news on Ashley Cole’s knee injury.

Terry has been out since December 13 with a back injury that required surgery, with the England defender’s rehabilitation being complicated by a calf problem.

The Blues’ form has suffered without Terry but Mourinho this afternoon revealed he will be in the squad to face Charlton at The Valley.

“John Terry is an important player for us. We’ve missed him and he’s been out for a long, long time,” he said.

“It’s important he’s back, especially in a period when we keep losing players.

“We lose some players. We then gain some players and it’s important he’s available.”
